The office of Poet Laureate goes back many centuries - informally to the time of Geoffrey Chaucer in 1389 and followed thereafter by a number of ‘volunteer laureates’. It was formally assigned to Ben Jonson in 1617 and, as a Royal office by letters patent in 1670, to John Dryden. It is a rich, rewarding history that bursts with the words, themes and visions of many great poets that has bound poetry and poets to a nation's soul.

J-C, il a influencé la réflexion occidentale sur l'art pendant des siècles et suscité de nombreux débats. Plusieurs allusions au fil du texte suggèrent que la Poétique est incomplète, plusieurs études, notamment sur la comédie, auraient été perdues.

Œdipe... Aussi orgueilleux qu'opiniâtre, sa clairvoyance, son intelligence ont jadis eu raison de la cruelle Sphinge et de ses énigmes.

Plongez dans la poésie de Rimbaud, le poète "voyant", pour découvrir sa sensualité lumineuse au travers d'une interprétation juste et limpide.

"André Gide reste un isolé, inclassable, que son intransigeance morale a éloigné de toutes les chapelles. Cette impitoyable lucidité sans complaisance ne l'épargnait pas. Il dit de lui-même "A cet âge innocent où l'on voudrait que toute âme ne soit que transparence, tendresse et pureté, je ne vois en moi qu'ombre, laideur, sournoiserie." Son influence sur la jeunesse et les écrivains contemporains fut considérable. André Malraux l'a qualifié de "Contemporain capital"."

Charles Baudelaire is one of the greatest French poets. His most famous work, "Les Fleurs du Mal"("The Flowers of Evil"), was deemed scandalous at the time because of its themes of sex and death, lesbianism, corruption, wine, and the oppressiveness of living. The effect on fellow artists was "immense, prodigious, unexpected, mingled with admiration and with some indefinable anxious fear", while the regime of the Second Empire had Baudelaire prosecuted and fined for his "insult to public decency". Baudelaire's style had a tremendous influence on French poetry, and also on English writers; he was a pioneering translator, and created strong ties with the Anglo-Saxon literature.
