Lyon school of poets
Lyoneser poet school (French. "École de Lyon" or "École lyonnaise") is the traditional name of an informal literary group that was mainly active in lyric genres around 1550 in Lyon .
The unifying spiritual bond of the group was the idealistic Neoplatonic concept of love that had been adopted from Italy. Thanks to its proximity to rich and highly developed Italy, Lyon experienced an economic and intellectual boom during these years (also as a center of printing ), which made it equal to the capital Paris for some time. Maurice Scève and Louise Labé are considered to be the most important authors of the “school” . Other well-known names are Pontus de Tyard , who later joined the Parisian poet group La Pléiade , Thomas Sébillet and Pernette du Guillet .
