Moving from a definition of the lyric to the innovations introduced
by Petrarch's poetic language, this study goes on to propose a new
reading of several French poets (Charles d'Orleans, Ronsard, and Du
Bellay), and a re-evaluation of Montaigne's understanding of the
most striking poetry and its relation to his own prose. Instead of
relying on conventional notions of Renaissance subjectivity, it
locates recurring features of this poetic language that express a
turn to the singular and that herald lyric poetry's modern emphasis
on the utterly particular. By combining close textual analysis with
more modern ethical concerns this study establishes clear
distinctions between what poets do and what rhetoric and poetics
say they do. It shows how the tradition of rhetorical commentary is
insufficient in accounting for this startling effectiveness of
lyric poetry, manifest in Petrarch's Rime Sparse and the
collections of the best poets writing after him.
