The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature Before 1700 is a comprehensive study of the literary genre of the voyage extraordinaire in French literature from the Middle Ages to the end of the 17th century. Written by Geoffroy Atkinson, a renowned scholar of French literature, the book examines the various forms and themes of the genre, including tales of exploration, imaginary voyages, and utopian literature. Atkinson explores the cultural and historical context in which these works were produced, as well as their influence on later writers and thinkers. The book also includes close readings of key texts, such as Fran�����ois Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel, Cyrano de Bergerac's The Other World, and Denis Vairasse's The History of the Sevarambians. With its insightful analysis and engaging style, The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature Before 1700 is an essential resource for scholars of French literature and anyone interested in the history of travel writing and utopian literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
