Le Bourdeau des neuf pucelles

Résumé

"Le Bourdeau des neuf pucelles" by Charles-Théophile Féret is a poetic work written during the early 20th century. This book is a collection of erotic poetry that revisits themes from libertine literature, reflecting on the nature of desire and the relationships between poets and muses. The text serves as a homage to Claude Le Petit, a 17th-century poet whose controversial works were believed to have led to his execution. The book navigates through a series of thematic explorations, featuring both playful and serious reflections on love, sexuality, and the role of female figures from mythology and history. Each section is dedicated to a different muse, presenting a tapestry of verses that blend wit and sensuality. Féret’s poetry often critiques societal norms surrounding virtue and vice, celebrating libertinism while addressing the consequences faced by those who dare to challenge moral boundaries in their artistic expressions. Through his verses, Féret echoes the spirit of earlier libertine writers, capturing both the allure and the risks associated with a life devoted to pleasure and creativity.
