Du Bellay returned with Ronsard to Paris to join the circle of students of the humanities attached to Jean Daurat at the College de Coqueret.
Du Bellay maintained that the French language as it was then constituted was too poor to serve as a medium for the higher forms of poetry, but he contended that by proper cultivation it might be brought on a level with the classical tongues.
Du Bellay did not actually introduce the sonnet into French poetry, but he acclimatized it; and when the fashion of sonneteering became a mania he was one of the first to ridicule its excesses.

Du Bellay returned with Ronsard to Paris to join the circle of students of the humanities attached to Jean Daurat at the College de Coqueret.
While Ronsard and Antoine de Bail[?] were most influenced by Greek models, du Bellay was more especially a Latinist, and perhaps his preference for a language so nearly connected with his own had some part in determining the more national and familiar note of his poetry.
These were published under the pseudonym of J Quintil du Troussay, and the courtier-poet was generally supposed to be Melin de Saint-Gelais, with whom du Bellay had always, however, been on friendly terms.

 RMDS Collections
Du Bellay’s oeuvres convey first the optimism of a growing humanist movement, then increasing disappointment with humanist intellectual goals and pessimism regarding the attempt to construct earthly glory for oneself, in the face of the inescapable ravages of time.
Du Bellay subsequently met Pierre de Ronsard and joined him in 1547 at the Collège de Coqueret in Paris, where the young poets pursued studies of Latin and Greek and read the great literary and philosophical works of antiquity and of Italy under the tutelage of the humanist Jean Dorat.
Du Bellay’s Défense et illustration de la langue françoyse (1549) served as the group’s manifesto, asserting the dignity of the French language in keeping with Renaissance humanists’ growing support for the vernacular, and calling on poets to draw upon and then surpass the literary models of Greece, Rome and Italy.

Du Bellay in Rome (Leiden: Brill, 1960), 841.32DIC
The common thread running through Du Bellay’s Parisian manifesto La Deffence (1549), and through his Roman sonnet sequences, Les Regrets and the Antiquitez de Rome (1558), is the ambiguous attitude of French humanist culture to Italy, both ancient and modern.
French authors such as Du Bellay and Montaigne, the ruins of Rome are not so much a concrete reality, as a powerful symbol of the vanity of all human endeavour, including that of humanist restoration of the cultural heritage of Rome in either Italy or France.

 Christian Art And Literature - Joachim Du Bellay
IN the middle of the sixteenth century, when the spirit of the Renaissance was everywhere, and people had begun to look back with distaste on the works of the middle age, the old Gothic manner had still one chance more, in borrowing something from the rival which was about to supplant it.
The first note of this literary revolution was struck by Joachim du Bellay in a little tract written at the early age of twenty-four, which coming to us through three centuries seems of yesterday, so full is it of those delicate critical distinctions which are sometimes supposed peculiar to modern writers.
Du Bellay himself translated two books of the Aeneid, and other poetry, old and new, and there were some who thought that the translation of the classical literature was the true means of ennobling the French language: - strangers are ever favourites with us - nous favorisons toujours les etrangers.

En 1549, Du Bellay publie coup sur coup la Défense et Illustration de la langue française (1549), conçu avec Ronsard, un recueil de «Vers lyriques» (1550), recueil inspiré du poète latin Horace, et un «canzoniere», «L'Olive» (1549), recueil de sonnets inspirés de Pétrarque, réédité et augmenté dès l'année suivante (1550).
Malade, atteint, comme Ronsard, de surdité, Du Bellay publie encore: en 1551, le Tombeau de Marguerite de Valois, et, en 1552, un recueil d'inventions, «Oeuvres de l'invention de l'autheur» et une traduction du chant IV de l'Énéide; suivront d'autres fragments du grand poème virgilien.

 Poetry Life and Times, Vallance Review, January 2004
Du Bellay not only adapts the Petrarchan sonnet form to the exigencies of the French languages, he also alters the style somewhat, and changes the metrical structure to adapt to French, by having recourse to the twelve syllable Alexandrine.
Du Bellay’s unique and vivid style, and above all, his imagery, ring true to the clarity and fluid expressiveness native to French lyricism, a music which is not mimicked by the structured lyrical poetry, the sonnet included, of any other European language of the High Renaissance.
Du Bellay, and especially Ronsard are to be regarded as paragons of poets, whose mastery of the sonnet genre was and to this day remains, of the highest order.
