Description: This book examines the history surrounding an infamous ode written by the celebrated 18th-century French poet Alexis Piron about a marksmanship competition in which his hometown of Dijon had been defeated by the marksmen from Beaune. The book features Piron's ode, as well as his entertaining and dramatic account of his subsequent visit to Beaune, which did not go well for him. Through Piron's entertaining writings and the insights provided by the book's editors, this volume not only examines the history of the rivalry between the two towns and the role of satire in 18th-century France but also provides a glimpse into the life and mind of one of the most celebrated poets of his day.
