Description

This Routledge academic volume examines French poetry from 1400 to 1600 through the lens of material book history, revealing how physical elements shape literary meaning. Contributors analyse layout, illustration, typography, paratext, and graphology in works by Renaissance masters including Charles d'Orleans, Jean Bouchet, Pierre de Ronsard, and Louise Labe. The collection demonstrates that understanding texts requires studying the books themselves as material objects, exploring how design choices, anthologization strategies, and visual presentation construct the relationships between readers and poetry. Essential reading for scholars of Renaissance literature, book history, and French cultural studies.

Key Features

Examines material book elements such as layout, typography, illustration, and paratext in Renaissance texts.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specializing in literary and cultural studies.

Combines textual analysis with book history methodology to reveal how design shapes poetic meaning.
