Critics have often viewed French epic poetry as a casualty of these wars, arguing that the few epics France produced during this conflict failed in power and influence compared to those of France's neighbors, such as Italy's Orlando Furioso, England's Faerie Queene, and Portugal's Os Lusiadas. Katherine Maynard argues instead that the wars did not hinder epic poetry, but rather French poets responded to the crisis by using epic poetry to reimagine France's present and future. Traditionally united by une foi, une loi, un roi (one faith, one law, one king), France under Henri IV was cleaved into warring factions of Catholics and Huguenots. The country suffered episodes of bloodshed such as the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, even as attempts were made to attenuate the violence through frequent edicts, such as those of St. Germain (1570) and Nantes (1598). Maynard examines the rich and often dismissed body [of] work written during these bloody decades: Pierre de Ronsard's Franciade, Guillaume Salluste Du Bartas's La Judit and La Sepmaine, Sebastian Garnier's La Henriade, Agrippa d'Aubigne's Les Tragiques, and others. She traces how French poets, taking classics such as Virgil's Aeneid and Homer's Iliad as their models, reimagined possibilities for French reconciliation and unity."--Publisher's summary. 600 10 $a Ronsard, Pierre de, $d 1524-1585. $t Franciade. 600 10 $a Du Bartas, Guillaume de Salluste, $c seigneur, $d 1544-1590 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Garnier, Sebastien, $d -1595. $t Henriade. 600 10 $a Palma-Cayet, Pierre-Victor, $d 1525-1610. $t Heptameron de la Navarride. 600 10 $a Aubigne, Agrippa d', $d 1552-1630. $t Tragiques. 650 0 $a Epic poetry, French $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French poetry $y 16th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a French poetry $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 651 0 $a France $x In literature. $y Henry IV, 1589-1610 $x In literature. 651 0 $a France $x In literature. $y Wars of the Huguenots, 1562-1598 $x In literature. 830 0 $a Rethinking the Early Modern. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116013357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B5BF6E4580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
