| biography:
| Renaissance scholar and poet, born in Nogent-le-Rotrou, near Chartres, NC France. Referred to by Ronsard as ‘le peintre de la nature’, from 1554 he was a member of La Pléiade, a literary group that sought to enrich French literature by reviving classical tradition. His chief works remain Petites Inventions (1557) and La Bergerie (1565–72), a collection of pieces in the pastoral vein of which ‘Avril’ still appears in anthologies. |
