| Sumario: | A literary criticism of Joachim Du Bellay's 1558 collection of sonnets "Les Regrets" is presented. It explores the history of Du Bellay's criticism and his collection often thought of as a straightforward record of a unified subject, uncontaminated by artifice, imitation or social posturing. It formulates an alternative hermeneutic context for the poems based on the theory that "Regrets" are a self-conscious lyric collection and an imitation that allows the poet to suture the poems together. |
