Textes de La Renaissance La Christiade, Ou Poeme Sacre Contenant l'Histoire Saincte Du Prince de la Vie, Book 206, (Paperback)

Published in 1613, Escorbiac's epic poem, La Christiade, follows on from the poetry of Du Bartas. The peculiarity of this rewriting of the Gospels, in which profane and sacred references mingle, lies in the difficult reconciliation of epic inspiration and Christian aspiration.
