Book Description
The first complete English-language edition of the work of Renaissance poet Clément Marot. Clément Marot's Epistles is the first complete English-language translation and critical edition of the work of Clément Marot (1496-1544), a royal poet in Renaissance France who ushered in new verse forms and renewed existing ones. Using as its source the authorized complete works of Marot published in 1538, the volume translates and sets to verse all seventy-two of Marot's epistles, employing the same meter and rhyme scheme that Marot used in their original compositions. Focused on capturing Marot's poetic voice, thus maintaining idiomatic and literary integrity, the resulting translation is an attempt to convey the playfulness and pathos of Marot's verse, rendering it accessible to an anglophone public. A robust critical apparatus offers ample footnotes, an extensive introduction, illustrations, a bibliography, a chronological table, and a concordance to the main French-language editions of Marot's epistles. Beyond the more traditional verse epistles, the volume also offers translations of the introductory prose epistles penned by Marot for his Adolescence clémentine of 1532 and the 1538 edition of his complete works, as well as the coq-à-l'âne and other versified satirical epistles, the "artificial epistle" retelling of a popular medieval romance, and more. The book should appeal to English-speaking historians and literary scholars alike, as well as to poetry lovers, who will appreciate a new acquaintance with this distinctive voice from poetry's past.

Clément Marot and Religion

Book Description
Famous mainly for his chansons and epigrams, the French poet Clément Marot (1496-1544) also supplied the texts for the Huguenot Psalter. Did he only paraphrase the Psalms to do Marguerite de Navarre, the leading lady of reform-oriented France, a favour, or was there more to it? This book offers a new approach to this question, which has got stuck in a yes-no discussion. A breakthrough is forced by the author’s focussing on the Psalm paraphrases themselves, which until now have never actually been included in Marot research. Analysed from a multidisciplinary perspective the successive versions of these paraphrases reveal that Marot was interested in reaching a consistent, literary, and historically reliable versification of the Psalms, thus implicitly questioning the traditional christological exegesis. The author’s perusal of Jewish exegetical insights (Kimhi, Ibn Ezra) in Martin Bucer’s Commentary shows where Marot acquired a satisfactory hermeneutical framework.

Book Description
Controversy raged through England during the 1570-80s as Puritans denounced all manner of games & pastimes as a danger to public morals. Writers quickly turrned their attention to their own art and the first & most influential response came with Philip Sidney's Defense. Here he set out to answer contemporary critics &, with reference to Classical models of criticism, formulated a manifesto for English literature. Also includes George Puttenham's Art of English Poesy, Samuel Daniel's Defence of Rhyme, & passages by writers such as Ben Jonson, Francis Bacon & George Gascoigne.
