Download or read book Selected Poems written by Pierre Ronsard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-08-29 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of France's most influential love poets, Pierre de Ronsard embraced a variety of themes from politics, science, and philosophy to bawdy and risqué material that outraged religious reformers. Drawing on classical and Italian poetic models and on powerful imagery from ancient mythology, Ronsard created verse that revolutionized the French poetic tradition. His style ranges from the sublime rhetoric of the Pindaric odes and hymns to the lyricism and sensuality of his sonnets. Ronsard's poetry has influenced many twentieth-century writers and artists, including W. B. Yeats, Sylvia Plath, and Henri Matisse. The dual-language format of this new edition provides English-speaking readers with an enhanced perspective on one of the most innovative voices in the history of European poetry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Poems of Pierre De Ronsard If the traveller is on his way north from Venice, where, at the cost of a morning spent in a gondola, you may see all the architecture of the world displayed in a crowded, im possible pageant between sea and heaven, and where you retreat breathless from Veronese only to be blinded by Titian, he will probably be distressed by the formal beauties of the great castles of the Touraine the last flourishes of the Flamboyant in the church of Brou will seem to him the artifice of a style grown too old to possess natural graces; domestic architecture will be either neat without simplicity or grandiose without dignity. But if he returns from F lorence, the inevitable revulsion, the sense of some light lost from the sky or dreamy loveliness from the earth, will be less strong in him; he will observe that behind the brier-like luxuriance of the Flamboyant style no less than amid the urbane splendours of the great Chateaux there is a latent quality that he will have dimly realized to be present in all Florentine art before Michelangelo, - a tranquil strength, a restrained rhythm of line. The tree may glow with a thousand flowers, but the dark, sinewy boughs are beneath them, defiant of time and the winds.

Download or read book The World Upside Down in 16th Century French Literature and Visual Culture written by Vincent Robert-Nicoud and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The World Upside Down in 16th Century French Literature and Visual Culture Vincent Robert-Nicoud offers an interdisciplinary account of the topos of the world upside down in early modern France. To call something ‘topsy-turvy’ in the sixteenth century is to label it as abnormal. The topos of the world upside down evokes a world in which everything is inside-out and out of bounds: fish live in trees, children rule over their parents, and rivers flow back to their source. The world upside down proves to be key in understanding how the social, political, and religious turmoil of sixteenth-century France was represented and conceptualised, and allows us to explore the dark side of the Renaissance by unpacking one of its most prevalent metaphors.

Download or read book Selected Poems and Translations written by Madeleine de l'Aubespine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madeleine de l’Aubespine (1546–1596), the toast of courtly and literary circles in sixteenth-century Paris, penned beautiful love poems to famous women of her day. The well-connected daughter and wife of prominent French secretaries of state, l’Aubespine was celebrated by her male peers for her erotic lyricism and scathingly original voice. Rather than adopt the conventional self-effacement that defined female poets of the time, l’Aubespine’s speakers are sexual, dominant, and defiant; and her subjects are women who are able to manipulate, rebuke, and even humiliate men. Unavailable in English until now and only recently identified from scattered and sometimes misattributed sources, l’Aubespine’s poems and literary works are presented here in Anna Klosowska’s vibrant translation. This collection, which features one of the first French lesbian sonnets as well as reproductions of l’Aubespine’s poetic translations of Ovid and Ariosto, will be heralded by students and scholars in literature, history, and women’s studies as an important addition to the Renaissance canon.
