Cohete bimodal de la propulsiÃ³n

See also: Pleiad

The Pleiad is a group of seven Poète S French of the 16th century gathered around Ronsard. This group was born in the second half of the 16th century, initially named the Brigade . The name of the group is borrowed from seven other poets of Alexandria who had chosen, from, the name of this Constellation to indicate itself. In addition to Ronsard, the Pleiad gathers Joachim of Bellay, Nicolas Denisot, Jacques Peletier of Mans, Rémy Belleau, Antoine de Baïf and Etienne Jodelle. With died of Jacques Furrier of Mans, Jean Dorat will take his place within the pleiad.

The ideas of the Pleiad are gathered in a proclamation, Défense and illustration of the French language , published in April 1549 under the signature of Joachim Of Bellay. Its contents aim at carrying out a reflection on the means of enriching the French language by loans, the manufacture of neologisms, the recall of disappeared words etc

The members of the Pleiad enter a logic of rupture with their predecessors, they break with medieval poetry and seek to exert their French art (“poetry must speak the language about the poet”). They however note that the French language poor and is not adapted to the poetic expression and decide thus to enrich the language by creation by neologisms resulting from the Latin , of the Greek and the regional languages. They defend at the same time the imitation of the graeco-latin authors with an aim of being inspired some to be able to exceed them. They impose the Alexandrin, the Ode and the Sonnet like major poetic forms and approach the four main themes of elegiac poetry: love, death, the escape of time and nature.

At the request of François I {{er}}, the Pleiad takes part in the development and the standardization of French and plays a great part in the work of “the illustration of the French language” and the literary rebirth.
