Atala and René: Edited with Introduction and Notes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Atala and René Edited With Introduction and Notes The text used in the present volume has been taken from the octave edition published by Garnier Freres, and the older orthography in oi, as there given, has been preserved. A few slight corrections have been found necessary, some minor changes in punctuation have seemed advisable, and such brief omissions have been made in the subject -matter as our classroom standards would suggest. As it is assumed that the study of Chateaubriand will be taken up with advanced students, it is for such that this edition has been prepared. Hence in the matter of annotation fullness has9 not been aimed at, and little or no grammatical assistance has been given. For the same reason the editor has felt free to quote, in Intro duction or Notes, short critical or explanatory passages in the original French.
