| Description: |
Remembered as one of France's greatest love poets, Ronsard's poetic achievements span politics, science, philosophy and the risque. Using Greco-Roman and Italian poetic models, he drew on rich images of classical mythology to revolutionize French poetry. |
| Synopsis: |
Ronsard is considered one of France's greatest love poets, yet his poetic achievements are not restricted to his verses of love, wine and nature. A true Renaissance figure, his themes ranged from politics, science and philsophy, to the bawdy and risque. Using Greco-Roman and Italian poetic models, and drawing on the rich images of classical mythology, Ronsard revolutionised the tradition of French poetry. In the 20th century, Ronsard's poetry was influential for W. B. Yeats, translated by Sylvia Plath, and illustrated by Henri Matisse. He stands as one of the most innovative and diverse voices in the history of European poetry. |
