French Renaissance literature : ウィキペディア英語版 | French Renaissance literature ''For more information on historical developments in this period see: Renaissance, History of France, and Early Modern France''. ''For information on French art and music of the period, see French Renaissance.'' French Renaissance literature is, for the purpose of this article, literature written in French (Middle French) from the French invasion of Italy in 1494 to 1600, or roughly the period from the reign of Charles VIII of France to the ascension of Henry IV of France to the throne. The reigns of Francis I (from 1515 to 1547) and his son Henry II (from 1547 to 1559) are generally considered the apex of the French Renaissance. After Henry II's unfortunate death in a joust, the country was ruled by his widow Catherine de' Medici and her sons Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III, and although the Renaissance continued to flourish, the French Wars of Religion between Huguenots and Catholics ravaged the country. ==The word "Renaissance"== The word "Renaissance" is a French word, whose literal translation into English is "Rebirth". The word Renaissance was first used and defined〔Murray, P. and Murray, L. (1963) ''The Art of the Renaissance''. London: Thames & Hudson (World of Art), p. 9. ISBN 978-0-500-20008-7〕 by French historian Jules Michelet (1798–1874), in his 1855 work, ''Histoire de France'' (History of France).〔Michelet, Jules. ''History of France'', trans. G. H. Smith (New York: D. Appleton, 1847)〕 Jules Michelet defined the 16th-century Renaissance in France as a period in Europe's cultural history that represented a break from the Middle Ages, creating a modern understanding of humanity and its place in the world. As a French citizen and historian, Michelet also claimed the Renaissance as a French movement.〔Brotton, J., ''The Renaissance: A Very Short Introduction'', OUP, 2006 ISBN 0-19-280163-5.〕 His work is at the origin of the use of the French word "Renaissance" in other languages.
