Selected Poems by Pierre Ronsard
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.Pierre de Ronsard (1524-85) was leader of the Pléiade group of poets. He is most famous for his Odes and his later sonnet sequences, which were a great influence on the English sonnet writers of the 16th century.
