CatherineVWill: Louise Labé’s sonnets are just as beautiful as they are relatable. Sadly, the beauty of the original French gets lost in translation to English.

AudryT: I read Love Sonnets and Elegies by Louise Labé

AudryT: On page 55 of 121 of Love Sonnets and Elegies, by Louise Labé

BatemanChimene: I kind of wish

djmgaffneyw4: I’ve taken to listening to France Culture on ‘phones while out, thus keeping my ears warm and learning lots of things I didn’t know, such as that Zemmour identifies with Balzac’s Lucien de Rubempré (who’s his Vautrin?) & that the poet Louise Labé never existed.

cbcradio: Louise Labé's name is on the cover of a popular collection of love sonnets and elegies. But Mireille Huchon proclaimed Labé's collection to be a literary hoax.

Meunier007: Remembering Gielgud via Louise Labé. Beyond the bricks his voice could spin gold. The film clip was recorded as a commercial for a Swiss bank. It was, methinks, a different world.

azforeman: One thing I wanted to include but couldn't was a segment in 16th century Lyonnais pronunciation as attested by Meigret. But if you want to hear me reading Louise Labé in that accent, you can here. It's wild... [ʒe vi ʒe meø̯r ʒe me bryl e me nwɛ]

azforeman: "Was this the goal behind the ruse you gave me:  Pretend to serve, the better to enslave me?" — Louise Labé, tr. Yours Truly (Donques c’estoit le but de ta malice   De m’asservir sous ombre de service?)

aliner: I think it was Hell that decreed this storm - Louise Labe

azforeman: I did do a thing implementing Meigret's described phonology though, based on Shipman's monograph. And of course I had to do it with his contemporary and fellow Lyonian Louise Labé

aliner: No need to blame Vulcan if you’re on fire, Nor Adonis to explain your desire: Love alone decides when you lose your mind - Louise Labe, ending a sonnet with no theology out

johnndavis: 20210518: CBC: Louise Labé was a 16th century French poet. Or was she? She was a real person, who was also known as La Belle Cordière (The Beautiful Ropemaker). But did she actually write the poems ascribed to her?

cbcradio: Louise Labé is sometimes named among the greatest poets in French history. But Mireille Huchon — now a professor emeritus at the Sorbonne — proclaimed Labé's collection of poems to be a literary hoax.

takeoutphoto: For our project, each student will write a sonnet celebrating a woman (from a long list) The rhyme structure and syllable count is the same as a Louise Labé sonnet I chose so that all the individual poems will mix and match seamlessly. The result is not only a group 2/

aliner: The ghost of Louise Labé was born 2 days ago (455 years ago) and has been upset for decade, since allegations that a band of He-brigands "wrote" those poems.

LallyMacBeth: In an era when kissing, and indeed touch, has been akin to death this Louise Labé poem has felt so perfect.

VarsityUK: Mahvish Malik connects Louise Labé’s poetry to the changes in her relationships during lockdown

lancaster_words: We begin Wednesday with one of the remarkable sonnets of Louise Labé, also known as La Belle Cordière.

GarethPrior: Louise Labé’s opening to Elegy III is basically missile-lock on Petrarch. It’s stunning to think this was published in 1555.

apuddleofmuddle: Teaching Louise Labé tmrw ❤ but I can't help feeling annoyed this involves the debate that Labé's poetry was actually written by a male coterie as a prank. It's so typical that teaching about a historical female writer means debating the very existence of her literary career.

GarethPrior: Tinkering with translating a Louise Labé sonnet while my 3yo twins watch Frozen, & I keep getting distracted by how efficiently both use a tightly-rolled ball of Ficino to play skittles with Petrarch + love-plot tropes. Either that, or CNN sleep-deprivation is starting to show.

thisisannick: Deep disappointment and sadness when I read of male poets re-writing/mis-translating/mis-representing Sappho as straight. The same now to see a major Cdn media outlet give attention to Huchon's attempt to "prove" that French Renaissance poet Louise Labé was but a "paper fiction".

cbcbooks: Louise Labé was a 16th century French poet. But Mirielle Huchon, author of Louise Labé: Créature de Papier, thinks Labé's one collection could be a literary hoax. She theorizes that 16th century male poets were out to experiment with a female voice.

johnndavis: 20201026: CBC: Feminist icon or elaborate hoax? The mystery of Louise Labé ["French scholar provokes controversy with theory on a groundbreaking poet"

cbcbooks: Louise Labé was a 16th century French poet. But Mirielle Huchon, author of Louise Labé: Créature de Papier, thinks Labé's one collection could be a literary hoax. She theorizes that 16th century male poets were out to experiment with a female voice.

telemachus: Do any of you have favorite translations of Louise Labé? I’m especially interested in sonnet 18, but any suggestions are welcome.

kesskoppel: Hello! You can see now lots of"boys" (various orchids "boys-herb" - Dactylorhiza majalis) - Louise Labe 1524-1566 - I Live I Die I Burn I Drown I live I die I burn I drown I endure at once chill & cold Life is at once too soft and too hard I have sore troubles mingled with joys..

cbcradio: The 16th century poet Louise Labé laid her desires bare in a single collection of love poetry. But 500 years later a shocking theory emerges about her identity. Did she actually write the poems ascribed to her?

OlindaCasimiro: Fascinating! Feminist icon or elaborate hoax? The mystery of Louise Labé | CBC Radio

OnThisDayShe: Louise Labé was a renowned poet of the French Renaissance. In the mid-16th century, she was acclaimed by her peers as ‘the Tenth Muse’. She wrote frankly of love & desire—‘A woman’s heart always has a scorch mark’— and she encouraged other women to write.

SennottDeirdre: What the actual...a new book out claims Louise Labé never existed. Which is whatever. Sells books. But the last paragraph of the description completely discounts the existence of “women’s writing” as “fragmentation” and “tribalism”. Then it gets racist.

themelvillean: I'm Louise Labe: female poet and knight. Resident at the court of King Francis I of France, I am a fierce match at the battlefield or in a poetry contest. However, unrequited love proves too much for me, and I die of a broken heart. Or plague.

azforeman: Wanting to see how Louise Labé's poetry would sound as pronounced by a 16th century Lyonnaise I looked at the testimony of Louis Meigret, born in the first decade of the sixteenth century in Lyon.

azforeman: Alright before I go on, here's me reading a sonnet by Meigret's contemporary Louise Labé in my tentative reconstruction of his accent. If I sound silly, it's up to you to judge whether that's Meigret's fault or mine.

nemoloris: In addition to her own poems, the Œuvres of Louise Labé published in 1555 contained 24 poems in her honour written by her male contemporaries, 'Escriz de divers poetes, a la louenge de Louize Labe Lionnoize', is this a tradition anyone has tried reviving.

Womans_Place_UK: Louise Labé (1524–1566) Influential French Renaissance poet. Her sonnets challenged prevailing notions of woman’s nature with direct & frank expression of female desire. Urged “ladies to raise their minds...above their distaffs & spindles,” & use learning to surpass or equal men.

Wilfrid Scawen Blunt Poem
Her Name Liberty
 by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

I thought to do a deed of chivalry,
An act of worth, which haply in her sight
Who was my mistress should recorded be
And of the nations. And, when thus the fight
Faltered and men once bold with faces white
Turned this and that way in excuse to flee,
