Pierre De La Primaudaye
Pierre de La Primaudaye (1546–1619) was a French writer. He is known particularly for ''L'Academie Française'', which was influential in English translations, from 1584 onwards, particularly ''The French Academie'' of 1618. La Primaudaye came from a large Protestant family in Anjou. There is little evidence about his childhood, but it is known that one of his brothers was executed for killing a member of the gentry, since La Primaudaye refers to his sadness over this event. In 1580 he was a ''gentilhomme de la chambre'' (gentleman of the bedchamber) for Francis, Duke of Anjou, the youngest son of king Henry II of France. In this position he published a large variety of books on intellectual topics, most notably ''L'Academie Française'', which summarised philosophical and scientific knowledge of the era. Stuart Gillespie describes it as a "prose compendium of scientific, moral and philosophical knowledge". It may have been used as a source by Shakespeare.Stuart Gillespie, ''Shak ...

Publisher, Klincksieck, 2000 Biography Philippe Desportes was born in Chartres. While serving as secretary to the Bishop of Le Puy he visited Italy, where he learned Italian poetry.

A good example of the light and dainty verse in which Desportes excelled is furnished by the well-known ''villanelle'' with the refrain "Qui premie ...
