Reading Undercover : Audience and Authority in Jean De La Fontaine, Hardback Book

Reading Undercover : Audience and Authority in Jean De La Fontaine Hardback

Hardback

Description

Reading Undercover examines author/audience relations in the works of Jean de La Fontaine.

Focusing on the Fables, Les Amours de Psyche et de Cupidon, and the Contes, Birberick shows how La Fontaine is a largely subversive artist who uses techniques of concealment and disclosure to foster a newly emerging and essentially anticanonical reading public, even as he seeks to establish himself within a conventional system of literary patronage.
