Le XVIIème siècle se partage entre baroque et classicisme. La poésie baroque (Théophile de Viau, Tristan Lhermite) affirme quelques principes communs: goût de la sensualité, des extrêmes, de l'ornementation, du language à effets, avec une prédilection de la forme sur le fond; on privilégie les sentiments sur la raison.

Here are poems of technical surprise alongside those of candid tenderness; poems that set love and love-making within a wider emotional and intellectual context. Here are epistemological meditations that nonetheless preserve the ‘essential gaudiness’ of poetry; and elegies for artist friends that consider the ephemeral nature of fame and charisma.
