The countertruth of the mothers: notes about the villonian ballad between satire and parody by Gian Luca Picconi

“…In fact, among the many reuses of the metrical forms during the Twentieth century, the ballad by Villon created a curious event: in 1961, Sanguineti published Ballata delle controverità (Ballad of countertruth), a Villonian parody, and Pasolini wrote the Ballata delle madri (Ballad of mothers), a satirical text dedicated to the mothers of journalists that vexed him, taken from a metrical pattern of the French poet. Through a historicistic investigation, this work tries to show that the use of comic figures is determined, in large part, by the influence of Brecht, who had used texts by Villon in his Threepenny Opera. …”

Digterskap en poëtíkale besinning by vier Franse Simboliste by L. Peeters

“…Modem poetry develops thus inside a tension between dream and action, but it is only now, in the work of the most lucid contemporary' poets, and after the sometimes draconian claims of theory in the human sciences, that attention has focused on a possible solution of poetry's dilemma which was already present in the French poet's work: this solution can be indicated with the word caritas in the strong sense of the word namely the acceptation of contingency, the need of incarnation and the pursuit of universality through poetic language.…”
