Description
The importance of Béranger in the history of French song is immense. By taking up a genre that had been forgotten before him and working on it with the painstaking care that until then was considered appropriate only for “high genres,” Béranger brought the song genre into poetic rights on equal footing with other forms of poetry.
Through long study of the genre’s features and laws of song, through the ability to connect these laws with propagandistic goals, through the greatest self-demand, through concern for the realism of the image, the careful construction of every stanza and refrain, and attention to rich rhyme—and especially to a clear, precise, sharp language—Béranger not only achieved great mastery that people admired: Balzac, Stendhal, Mérimée, George Sand, Goethe; but he also created a canon of French song.
