Description

Book Synopsis
From the gritty realism and resentment of Du Bellay to the lyric grace and frank eroticism of Ronsard, the poems of this volume testify to the many-faceted achievement of the two poets who, as leaders of the famous 'Pléiade' group, were crucial to the creation of a new national literature.

Trade Review
This is an essential poetry collection for all humans' home libraries, as well as public and university libraries. This collection is also a great choice for French or world literature classes. * Pennsylvania Literary Journal *
