  Pierre De Ronsard - LoveToKnow 1911
PIERRE DE RONSARD (1524-1585), French poet and "prince of poets" (as his own generation in France called him), was born at the Château de la Poissonniere, near the village of Couture in the province of Vendomois (department of Loir-etCher), on the 11th of September 1524.
Ronsard's period of study occupied seven years, and the first manifesto of the new literary movement, which was to apply to the vernacular the principles of criticism and scholarship learnt from the classics, came not from him but from Du Bellay.
Ronsard's own work came a little later, and a rather idle story is told of a trick of Du Bellay's which at last determined him to publish.
