- Title
Vision and naivete in Sceve's and du Bart as' accounts of creation.
- Authors
Wilson, Dudley
- Abstract
This article focuses on the account of creation, given by two French poets of Renaissance period, Maurice Scève and Guillaume de Salluste du Bartas, with specific reference to the concept of vision and naëveté. There is an obvious difficulty in making a comparison between Scève and du Bartas in that the second is writing a hexameron, or a history of the six days of creation, whereas the first is writing a sort of glorification of man himself, the microcosm, and his endless quest for knowledge, regarded as a good thing in itself.
