The Book of French Songs (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Book of French Songs The two works published together in this volume have long been popular with the reading Public. Together, they afford, we think, a good representation of the early and later song literature of France. To Mr. Oxenford's "Book of French Songs, " a few additional translations - the property of the Publishers - have been added: they are distinguished by initial letters. In Miss Costello's "Specimens of the Early Poetry of France, " the slight change has been made of transferring "the Song of Richard Coeur de Lion" from the Appendix to that which appears to be its due place in the body of the work. M. Michel's letter to Miss Costello on the "Trouvères" has been omitted, the subject of Troubadours and Trouvères having been discussed in the Introductions to both works. One or two small notes in which there was some repetition have also been omitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
