Much of the period's thought-from ideas about human nature and the cosmos to the meaning of history-was expressed in verse. Furthermore, writers engaged in the first national debate about poetics, the art of writing in French. While gaining a thorough insight into the stunning variety of sixteenth-century poetry and encountering major issues of a society in transition to modernity, we will focus in our readings on the interaction between poetics and politics and investigate Renaissance poems as sites of intense aesthetic and other philosophical negotiations.
