French Classicism, written by Charles Henry Conrad Wright and published in 1920, is a comprehensive study of the artistic and literary movement known as French Classicism. This movement emerged in France during the 17th century and was characterized by a return to the principles of ancient Greek and Roman art and literature. The book explores the historical context of French Classicism, including its origins in the court of Louis XIV and its influence on subsequent artistic movements. It also examines the key figures of the movement, such as Racine, Corneille, and Moli�����re, and their contributions to French literature. The book analyzes the themes, styles, and techniques of French Classicism, including its emphasis on reason, clarity, and balance, and its rejection of excess and extravagance. Overall, French Classicism provides a detailed and insightful overview of this important cultural movement and its lasting impact on French art and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
