Abstract

en_US This 252-page paperback has all the earmarks of a dissertation. Its subject is how La Fontaine breaks into and through his own work. It thus deals with interventions, which I take to be comments from the poet himself. The book's five chapters thus deal with different types of interventions. The first chapter concerns these objective general interventions: veritées humaines; veritées de la vie; passions et vices; and diverses catégories de personnes. The second chapter treats particular objective interventions, like personages, ideas, details, words, and expressions. The third has to do with prolonged subjective interventions. The leading topics here are fables and the souls of animals, but the chapter goes on to look at things like love, avarice, and pedantry. Brief subjective interventions have to do with the fabulist, the sweetness of life, love and marriage, cupidity, and the stupidity of the crowd. The last chapter has to do with conventional interventions, like dedications. The book seems to me to set out to do what a dissertation ought to do.
