TABLE DES MATIERES
This volume gathers the complete poetic output of a once‑celebrated French satirist, presenting both the works he published during his lifetime and the pieces that emerged posthumously. Listeners will hear lively verses that range from sharp epigrams to playful dialogues, all rooted in the early‑17th‑century revival of satirical poetry. The collection captures the wit and social commentary that made his name endure, offering a vivid portrait of the literary scene of his day.
Beyond the poems themselves, the edition is enriched with a concise biography, detailed notes on textual variants, and a handy glossary that clarifies archaic language. An index helps navigate the diverse sections, while scholarly commentary explains the complex transmission history of the texts. Whether you’re a lover of classic French verse or curious about the evolution of satire, this listening experience provides both enjoyment and insight into a pivotal moment in literary history.

1573–1613
A sharp-tongued French poet of the late Renaissance, he became known for lively satires that pushed back against overly polished verse. His writing mixes wit, plainspoken energy, and a very human eye for vanity and folly.
