The second part of the book focuses specifically on the French sonnet, tracing its evolution from the early Renaissance period to the late 19th century.Olmsted examines the work of influential French poets such as Ronsard, Du Bellay, and Malherbe, and discusses how they adapted and transformed the sonnet form to suit their own poetic sensibilities.
