点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The subject of this study is to clarify the transformation of allegoric poetics in France during the sixteenth century. Particularly, I will discuss two French poets, Pierre de Ronsard, greatest poet of this era, and Michel Quillian, poet in the last years of the Renaissance, and compare their descriptive poems to examine the difference between the mystical poetics developed by Ronsard and Quillian's rational poetics which focus on the function of language itself.
