Her poetry consists of three elegies in the style of the Heroides of Ovid, and twenty-four sonnets that draw on the traditions of Neoplatonism and Petrarchism. The great theme of her sonnets are the longings, torments and satisfactions of a passionate love which, however noble, is very much of this world, with no metaphysical concepts evoked and no references to a more perfect world than this one.' [Wiki] ***'Thanks to her acclaimed volume of poetry and prose published in France in 1555, Louise Labé (1522-66) remains one of the most important and influential women writers of the Continental Renaissance, and her temperament and values continue to resonate with modern issues of female identity, writing, and gender relations. Best known for her exquisite collection of love sonnets, Labé's original use of conventional metaphor, her alternating focus on playfulness and pain, and her frank reflection on the positive force of desire and the full dimensions of physical love reveal her to be an accomplished sonneteer who played of the Petrarchan male tradition with wit and irony. Likewise, her elegies, alternately funny and heart-wrenching, show the depth and range of her lyric skill in response to classical predecessors such as Sappho and Ovid. Labé's more recently recovered prose works include a stunning letter advocating women's education and accession to the social and literary stage. The strongly feminist "Debate of Folly and Love" is a fascinating combination of medieval and Renaissance philosophical and theatrical genres that anticipates the ethos of female independence and self-hood in Labé's poetry. The very first bilingual edition of this singular and broad-ranging female author, "Complete Poetry and Prose" also features the first translations of Labé's sonnets to follow the rhyme patterns of the originals and the only rhymed translation of Labé's elegies in their entirety.'
