Du Bellay, Joachim

Du Bellay, Joachim
(ca. 1522-1560)
   French poet, second only to Pierre de Ronsard among the group of court poets known as La Pléiade. Like others of this school, he strove to capture and express the spirit of the great poets of classical antiquity in his native language. He is best known for a prose manifesto, Défense et illustration de la langue française / Defense and Illustration of the French Language (1549), which advocated a program to enrich both the language and its literature through imitation of ancient Greek and Latin literature as well as works of the Italian Renaissance. Among his poems, the collection of sonnets known as Les Regrets is most highly regarded.
