Synopsis
Louis Simpson's translation of Francois Villon's The Legacy and The Testament has achieved the impossible, as Simpson has created the definitive translation of the life work of France's greatest poet of the 15th century Abandoned by his parents at an early age and raised by a foster father, later imprisoned, chained and tortured, somehow Villon survived to write one of the most enduring epics ever.

VERY GOOD CONDITION.pencil name ep "Ellie merricks.Christ's College." else very nice, clean, solid, bright copy ; White titles on red paper covers . verse in FRENCH LANGUAGE and facing ENGLISH version.to enjoy Villon's own rhythms & rhymes.; 190pg pages; His fame surpasses that of any other medieval French lyricist in spite of the modest quantity, uneven quality, and often repellent subject-matter of his work. His poems are largely autobiographical, and are rich in their descriptions of thefts, fights, nocturnal prowling, imprisonment, and exile. However, as Barbara Sargent-Baur points out, when Villon's work is good, it is very good, indeed unforgettable. N° de réf. du vendeur 133822
