Sebestyén Tinódi Lantos
Sebestyén Tinódi Lantos ( in Tinód – 30 January 1556 in Sárvár) was a 16th-century Hungarian lyricist, epic poet, political historian, and minstrel. Biography Little is known about Tinódi's childhood. He attended various schools and studied Latin, and excelled at sheet music. He joined the military service in 1535 and in 1539 was wounded in a battle, which rendered him ineligible for further military service. In 1541, when Turks invaded, it made a big impression on him. He became a political poet at this time, his works expressing the need to resist the Turks. Tinódi started a family, and visited parliament and scenes of battles, and wrote poems about these. He then began to put his poems to music and performed them to the accompaniment of a lute, which led to his nickname, "Lantos" - the lute-player. His songs became recognized as an important chronicalization of the events of the day by Tamás Nádasdy in 1545, who recommended to Parliament that this become a ...

Hélisenne De Crenne
Hélisenne de Crenne was a French novelist, epistolary writer and translator during the Renaissance. Critics generally agree that "Hélisenne de Crenne" was the pseudonym of Marguerite Briet (c. 1510, Abbeville - after 1552), a French gentlewoman married to Philippe Fournel de Crenne. It is however also generally recognized that this attribution remains somewhat speculative, as it is based on limited extant documentation and extrapolation of the "biographical" elements from her work. Life Marguerite Briet was a noblewoman from Abbeville, in Picardy, but wrote in Paris in the 1530s and 1540s. She was well educated, learning enough Latin to be able to translate Virgil. She married Philippe Fournel, Sieur de Crenne, but they separated financially. Her identity was established in 1917 by the French literary scholar L. Loviot. Although there is no proof that Marguerite Briet is the author of the entirety of the works signed "Hélisenne de Crenne", few critics doubt the attribution. A ...

Petrarchan
The Petrarchan sonnet, also known as the Italian sonnet, is a sonnet named after the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca, although it was not developed by Petrarch himself, but rather by a string of Renaissance poets.Spiller, Michael R. G. The Development of the Sonnet: An Introduction. London: Routledge, 1992. 5 Dec. 2015. Because of the structure of Italian, the rhyme scheme of the Petrarchan sonnet is more easily fulfilled in that language than in English. The original Italian sonnet form consists of a total of fourteen hendecasyllabic lines in two parts, the first part being an octave and the second being a sestet. Form The rhyme scheme for the octave is typically ABBAABBA. The sestet is more flexible. Petrarch typically used CDECDE or CDCDCD for the sestet. Some other possibilities for the sestet include CDDCDD, CDDECE, or CDDCCD (as in Wordsworth'sNuns Fret Not at Their Convent's Narrow Room" a sonnet about sonnets). This form was used in the earliest English sonnets by Wyatt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marinist
Marinism (Italian: ''marinismo'', or ''secentismo'', "17th century") is the name now given to an ornate, witty style of poetry and verse drama written in imitation of Giambattista Marino (1569–1625), following in particular ''La Lira'' and ''L'Adone''. Features The critic James V. Mirollo, the author of the first monograph in English on the subject, distinguished the terms as follows:James V. Mirollo. ''The Poet of the Marvelous.'' Columbia University Press, New York, 1963. :''Marinismo'' first appeared in the last 9thcentury as a label for the themes and techniques of Marino and his followers. It continues to be used synonymously with ''secentismo'' and ''concettismo'', although the former has more pejorative connotations as well as wider cultural implications, while the latter embraces the European practice of the witty style. ''Marinista'' and ''Marinisti'' go back to the ''seicento'' 7th century Stigliani detractorrefers 1627] to Marino's followers as ''i Marinisti'' ('' ...

Luigi Tansillo
Luigi Tansillo (15101 December 1568) was an Italian Late Renaissance poet. Tansillo deserves a special place in the history of Italian poetry, for he constitutes the link between the classical lyric of the Cinquecento and the baroque lyric of the Seicento. Biography Luigi Tansillo was born in Venosa in 1510, in a family of the minor nobility, and spent the early years of his life in Venosa and Nola. Around the year 1532 Tansillo moved to Naples, where he befriended the noted Spanish poets Garcilaso de la Vega and Juan Boscán.
