Transcript 24•26 July 2021
- ‘What quickly becomes clear is the scholar’s own passionate devotion to the poet, but also his fascination for the terrible narrowing vortex of his life, caught in the teeth of a particular moment, in the machinery of the historical circumstance.’ — Stephen Romer, Modern Language Review 119.2, 2024, 270-71 (full text online)
Evariste-Désiré de Parny, Le Paradis perdu
Edited by Ritchie Robertson and Catriona Seth
Critical Texts 20•30 June 2009
- ‘Robertson’s authorship of a volume on mock epic, including Parny’s, and Seth’s extensive work on the poet make them an ideal editorial team for this volume.’ — Derek Connon, Modern Language Review 105.4, 2010, 1159-60 (full text online)
- ‘it is particularly interesting to have this careful, commentated and annotated edition of Parny's ironical, erotic and witty version of the Fall.’ — Angus Martin, New Zealand Journal of French Studies 31.1, 2010, 46-47
