He was admired by Francis I, protected by Margaret of Navarre, and by Renie, the French Duchess of Ferrara. His translations of the psalms came to dominate Huguenot worship, inspiring many imitators, not least in English. His commitment to Lutheran theology shines through his personal poetry -- once his Scriptural allusions are recognised and interpreted. "Climent Marot: A Renaissance Poet Discovers the Gospel is a fundamental expansion and recasting for an English-reading public of "Marot Ivangilique, Michael Screech's study which brings out the appeal to this court poet of Lutheranism and martyrdom. Chapters also examine aspects of Marot's cult of the Virgin and a possible shift from Lutheranism to Calvinism. |
