About this book
Poetry and the revival of a regional language meet in Charles Alfred Downer's study of Frédéric Mistral. Published in 1901, the book follows the poet's life and the Félibrige, a movement devoted to Provençal writing and the customs of southern France. Downer recalls visiting Mistral at home and hearing him recite his verse, giving the scholarly account a personal connection to its subject.
The chapters examine the language's distinctive features, poetic meter and Mistral's dictionary before turning to his longer narrative poems, shorter verse and drama. In discussing the poems, Downer pays attention to energetic speech, local landscapes and dramatic episodes, including a wedding feast interrupted by an elderly peasant seeking his son.
