Both forms of poetry draw on similar roots, both are equally accomplished, and the contest between them is largely amicable. The Judgment of Palaemon illustrates the almost symbiotic relationship between Renaissance Latin and French poetry, while exploring poets' motivation for choosing one language over another, the different challenges each form of writing involved, and the extent of the collaboration between different language communities. It focuses on some of the major writers of the period, as well as less well known ones, and on genres specific to humanist poetry. It shows that composing in Latin was often considered more natural, at a time when many Frenchmen's mother tongue was a non-standard French dialect or distinct language.Medieval and Renaissance Authors and Texts9.French poetry16th centuryHistory and criticismLatin poetry, Medieval and modernFranceHistory and criticismElectronic books.French poetryHistory and criticism.Latin poetry, Medieval and modernHistory and criticism.841/.309Ford Philip1949-256587MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462825103321The judgment of Palaemon2246078UNINA
