en-wikipedia-org-1076		Pierre de Ronsard - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	3612	293	72	Pierre de Ronsard (11 September 1524 – 27 December 1585) was a French poet or, as his own generation in France called him, a "prince of poets". When Madeleine of France was married to James V of Scotland, Ronsard was attached as a page in the Scottish court, where he was encouraged in the idea of making French vernacular translations of classical authors.[1] A year after the death of the queen, he returned to France, travelling back through England. The character and fortunes of Ronsard's works are among the most remarkable in literary history, and supply in themselves a kind of illustration of the progress of French literature during the last three centuries. In short, Ronsard shows eminently the two great attractions of French 16th-century poetry as compared with that of the two following ages magnificence of language and imagery and graceful variety of metre.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1076.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1076.txt
