Rondeaux Choisis [French]

Rondeaux Choisis presents a carefully curated selection of rondeaux by Charles d'Orl ans, a prominent figure in 15th-century French poetry. This collection offers readers a glimpse into the courtly and refined literary traditions of the late Middle Ages. Charles d'Orl ans, born in 1394, was not only a poet but also a nobleman, and his works reflect both the personal experiences and the cultural values of his time. The rondeau, a fixed poetic form, finds its master in d'Orl ans, whose verses are celebrated for their elegance, musicality, and emotional depth. Jean-Marc Bernard has carefully chosen these rondeaux to showcase the breadth and beauty of Charles d'Orl ans' poetic contribution, making this volume an essential addition to any collection of French literature.
