520 _a"French Lyrics" by Arthur Graves Canfield is a collection of selected and edited French lyric poetry, first published in the late 19th century. The volume is aimed at providing English-speaking readers with an accessible introduction to the intricacies of French lyricism, highlighting the distinct qualities that set it apart from English poetry. Through this anthology, the editor seeks to encourage a deeper appreciation for the beauty and charm inherent in French lyric poetry. The opening portion of the collection includes a preface and an introduction outlining the book's intent and context. Canfield discusses the general underappreciation of French lyrics among English speakers and delineates the historical evolution of lyric poetry in France, beginning with the Troubadours in the 12th century. He emphasizes the transition of lyrical expression through different eras, highlighting various influential poets such as Villon and Ronsard, and describes key transformations in themes, forms, and styles in response to social changes and the influence of other literary traditions. This introductory segment sets the stage for the selected poems that follow, indicating the rich tapestry of emotions and styles that characterize French lyricism.
