	JEAN DE LA FONTAINE - LoveToKnow Article on JEAN DE LA FONTAINE
		LA FONTAINE, JEAN DE (162I1695), French poet, was born at Chteau Thierry in Champagne, probably on the 8th of July 1621.
		But, though La Fontaine recovered for the time, he was broken by age and infirmity, and his new hosts had to nurse rather than to entertain him, which they did very carefully and kindly.
		In some respects La Fontaine is the best of such tale-tellers, while he is certainly the latest who deserves such excuse as may be claimed by a writer who does not choose indecent subjects from a deliberate knowledge that they are considered indecent, and with a deliberate desire to pander to a vicious taste.

		La Fontaine ended with "La Mer promet monts et merveilles;/Fiez-vous-y, lesv ents et les voleurs viendront.." The theme of retirement, obscurity, hiding in dark places is obsessive in Finch's work.

	Ecrire La Fontaine: technology for teaching literature (The Colgate Scene, November 1998)
		Based on Aesop's Fables and, from the moment they were first published in seventeenth-century France, always very popular, La Fontaine's Fables are a rare example of a literary achievement that succeeds in combining the most sophisticated literary art with the utter simplicity of a traditional fable.
		We identify principal features of La Fontaine's style; students then work in groups and, via the Internet, engage in writing their own fables and in the peer editing of each other's work.
		Finally, I am able to create an archive of student work: each time I teach the course "Molière and La Fontaine," students will be able to learn from their predecessors' work and to attempt to do better.
