Content:
Quiconque a parcouru les écrits d'Etienne Pasquier connaît La Puce des Dames Des Roches, le concours des beaux esprits réunis à Poitiers autour de ces deux poétesses, la mère et la fille. Mais il reste à découvrir leurs vers, presque inaccessibles jusqu'aujourd'hui. Ces vers, où se marque l'influence de Ronsard, où resplendissent tous les trésors de l'antiquité classique, sont admirables, surtout ceux de Madeleine Des Roches.
Content:
Madeleine, the mother, and Catherine, the daughter, were members of the aristocracy of Poitiers, not very wealthy, but well educated. Both wrote verse, be it sonnets on destiny (Madeleine, among her purest achievements), or moralistic dialogues in a neo-platonic mode (Catherine). Both were deeply aware of the special reputation their writing gave them as women. Very fond of each other, they mutually celebrated their gift, held together... and practically died together. This book will be a real discovery for lovers of French baroque verse.
