It is designed for the new graduate student in England and elsewhere, although it may profitably be used by the enterprising final year undergraduate. Its aim is to introduce the modern student to readings of French Renaissance literature, drawing on the perspectives of contemporary literary theories. The volume is organised by paired readings of five major sixteenth-century French writers, with interpretations covering, among others, structuralism, semiotics, feminism and psychoanalysis. Linking these interpretations is a constant interest in problems such as the role of the reader, the nature of the text and the question of gender. The Introduction contextualises the encounter between literary theory and Renaissance texts by using the contributions as pivotal points in the development of critical thinking about this period in early modern literature. All foreign language quotations are translated into English, and the book is intended to be of practical interest to a wide range of readers, from modern linguists to those studying critical theory, comparative literature or cultural history. 606 $aFrench literature$y16th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a840.9/003 702 $aO'Brien$b John$f1954- 702 $aQuainton$b Malcolm 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782255003321 996 $aDistant voices still heard$93703241 997 $aUNINA
