D. B. Wyndham Lewis — acclaimed Catholic biographer and literary stylist — presents the poet's world with vivid authority, immersing the reader in the turbulent courts, religious conflicts, and intellectual ferment of Renaissance France. The narrative illuminates Ronsard's monumental contribution to the French language and the Pléiade movement, which sought to elevate vernacular French to the dignity of classical Latin and Greek. Written with wit, warmth, and scholarly depth, Lewis argues convincingly for Ronsard's place among the great poets of Western civilisation, making this biography as much a celebration of an era as of the man himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888016797915,"sku":"2026200009589-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/828b8c64-906d-4dda-9a42-83db89f221cf.png?v=1781752933","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009589-secondhand-ronsard","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
