Sumario:The article presents an insightful analysis on the works of publisher Gilles Corrozet throughout his writing career. His productive career spans a key period, beginning in the 1530s when poet Clement Marot was the dominant figure in French poetry. The author opines that Corrozet's literary style evolves with the times and his later works clearly reflect the changed style of the later period. Working in close association with the Paris printer Denis Janot, Corrozet was necessarily sensitive to what would sell well, and although the works he produced over four decades show great diversity, they share a common feature in that all cater to popular demand.
