Jean Vauquelin de la Fresnaye

Jean Vauquelin de la Fresnaye

Jean Vauquelin de la Fresnaye (1536 - 1608) was a French poet born at the château of La Fresnaye, near Falaise in Normandy, in 1536.

He studied the humanities at Paris and law at Poitiers and Bourges. He fought in the Wars of Religion under the maréchal de Matignon and was wounded at the siege of Saint-Lô (1574). Most of his life was spent at Caen, where he was president, and he died there in 1608.

La Fresnaye was a disciple of Ronsard, but, while praising the reforms of the Pléiade he laid stress on the continuity of French literary history. He was a student of the trouvères and the old chroniclers, and desired to see French poetry set on a national basis. These views he expounded in an "Art poetique", begun at the desire of Henry III in 1574, but not published until 1605.

His "Forestries" appeared in 1555; his "Diverses poésies", including the "Art poétique", the "Satyres françoises", addressed to various distinguished contemporaries, and the "Idylles", with some epigrams and sonnets, appeared in 1605. Among his political writings in the context of the civil wars may be noted "Pour la monarchie du royaume contre la division" (1569).
