Editing Maurice Scève (section)

==Further reading==

Important early literature on the poet includes [[Édouard Bourciez]], ''La Littérature polie et les mœurs de cour sous Henri II'' (Paris, 1886); [[Jacques Pernetti]], ''Recherches pour servir de l'histoire de Lyon'' (2 vols., Lyon, 1757), and especially [[F. Brunetière]], "''Un Précurseur de la Pléiade, Maurice Scève''," in his ''Etudes critiques'', vol. vi. (1899).

More recent scholarship includes [[V. Saunier]]'s two-volume Sorbonne dissertation on the poet (Paris, 1948), as well as three excellent critical editions by [[Eugène Parturier]] (Paris, 1916, reissued 2001 with an introduction and bibliography by C. Alduy), I.D McFarlane (Cambridge, 1966) and Gérard Defaux (Geneva, 2004). McFarlane's edition remains authoritative. Critical studies, with various approaches, by Dorothy Coleman, Jerry Nash, Nancy Frelick, Cynthia Skenazi, James Helgeson and Thomas Hunkeler are particularly useful; important articles on the poet have been written by François Rigolot, [[Enzo Giudici]], Edwin Duval, Terence Cave, Gérard Defaux, and [[Richard Sieburth]]'s "Introduction" to ''Emblems of Desire: Selections from the "Délie"'', a work which Sieburth translated and edited (see ''External links'' below for link to Sieburth's ''Introduction'' available on-line).

A complete annotated bibliography of all works by and on Scève since his lifetime has recently been published (Cécile Alduy, ''Maurice Scève'', Roma: Memini, 2006, 200pp.). It contains in particular all the critical literature, past and present, on Scève and his works.
