Vintage French Literature Bundle - 1947 to 1963 - Light Academia

Three French texts from the mid-20th century critical editions. A collection of power, drama, and philosophy that works together on a shelf or read individually. These are the books: Richelieu's political doctrine, Marivaux's comedies, and Marguerite de Navarre's plays—all in one curated set.  What you get: a coherent range of French thought from Renaissance reformation through 18th-century comedy. Read them in order or pick one up. They're solid editions, well-annotated, genuinely useful if you're reading French literature or just want serious books that look right together.  The three: - Testament Politique — Cardinal de Richelieu (Robert Laffont, 1947, 7e édition). Critical edition with introduction and notes by Louis André, preface by Léon Noël. 524 pages.  - Théâtre Choisi — Marivaux (Sansoni-Firenze). Cream cloth, gilt spine, Italian publisher. Five plays—Arlequin poli par l'amour, La surprise de l'amour, La double inconstance—presented by Frédéric Deloffre with scholarly apparatus.  - Théâtre Profane — Marguerite de Navarre (Droz/Minard, 1963). Cream paper boards. Seven secular plays, first collective publication, edited by V.L. Saulnier (Sorbonne). 356 pages.  All show honest age—shelf wear, edge rubbing, toning, mild interior marks. No dust jackets. Sold as a curated decorative set, priced and described as decor rather than fine collector copies.   Photographed as found and styled; what you see is what ships.
