This is a title in the Bristol Classical Press French Texts series, in French with English notes, vocabulary and introduction. This anthology of poems by Pierre de Ronsard contains light poetry, such as witty love poems and Horatian inspired poems on the joys of nature, as well as philosophical and meditative poetry. The introduction situates Ronsard in his literary and historical context, and the notes give the modern reader help in appreciating a 16th-century text.

The selections seem to cover most aspects of Ronsards poetry. There are of course examples from his three Livres de Amours, odes and elegies, however what I found most fascinating were selections from his hymns. These cover Ronsards view on his inpiration, his fame, his place in history etc, however in Les Daimons he speaks of the popularly held belief in the sphere of the demons and how they influence peoples lives on earth. There are extracts from the political poems and finally poems dictated when he was on his death bed.
The selection leads you to want to read more as you appreciate Ronsards scope and breadth. He could be bawdy, fair minded, political and he wrote some beautiful lyrical poetry. He also had a wicked sense of humour. A brilliant mind and well represented in these poems. 4 stars. ( )
