CACecco Angiolieri
(1260 cca - 1313 cca) Născut la Siena din părinți bogați, bigoți și avari cu fiul lor, Cecco moare lăsând în urmă nenumărate datorii și amintirea unei vieți extravagante, trândăvie și desfrâu. Poet original și bizar, este autorul unui Canțonier de 110 sonete cu atribuire certă, jurnal de o sinceritate brutală al vieții lui familiale și citadine. *** Cecco Angiolieri was born in Siena in 1260, son of Angioliero, who was himself the son of Angioliero Solàfica who was for several years a banker to Pope Gregory IX; his mother was Lisa de' Salimbeni, from a powerful Senese family. In 1281 he was with the Guelphs of Siena who were besieging their Ghibelline fellow citizens in the Torri di Maremma, near Roccastrada, Tuscany, and he was fined many times for deserting the battlefield without permission. He was fined again on July 11, 1282, for violating the curfew of Siena, signalled by the third ringing of the commune bells. He was slapped with another fine in 1291 in similar...

Robert Browning
Robert Browning was born on May 7, 1812 in Camberwell, which is south of London. His birthday falls within a couple of months of the births of Dickens and Thackeray. He was the eldest of 2 children, born to Robert and Sarah Anna Browning. His father was a bank clerk. He attended London University for a short while in 1828, but received most of his education by readinghis from his father\'s library. His first poem, Pauline, was published when he was 21. It was soon followed by Paracelsus (1835) and Sordello (1840). A year later, Pippa Passes, the first in a series entitled Bells and Pomegranates was published; the remaining seven parts appeared between 1841-46. In 1846, Browning eloped with Elizabeth Barrett and lived with her in Italy until his death in 1861. Various difficulties made the poet\'s requested burial in Florence impossible, and his body was returned to England to be interred in Westminster Abbey.

ABAnthony Burgess
Anthony Burgess (1917-1993) a fost un romancier și un critic englez, celebru pentru scrierea romanului său distopic Portocala mecanică, ecranizat de Stanley Kubrick. Este de asemenea un compozitor britanic. John Burgess Wilson se naște pe 25 februarie 1917 la Manchester. N-o să primească cel de-al doilea prenume, Anthony, decât mai târziu, iar pseudonimul său literar bine cunoscut nu-l va adopta înainte de 1956. La vârsta de un an, din cauza gripei spaniole din 1918, moare mama sa care fusese o actriță și dansatoare minoră cunoscută, potrivit lui însuși Burgess, sub numele de scenă The Beautiful Belle Burgess. Tatăl, Joseph Wilson, fusese printre altele, ofițer în armată, pianist, vânzător de enciclopedii etc. Se recăsătorește cu o cârciumăreasă. Burgess îl descrie ca „cel mai absent alcoolic care s-a pretins vreodată a fi un tată”. De fapt, Burgess a fost crescut de mătușa lui, iar mai târziu de mama vitregă. Copilăria și-a petrecut-o mai mult singur. Timpul pentru Tigru (1956)...

SHSeamus Heaney
Seamus Heaney (born 13 April 1939) is an Irish poet, writer and lecturer who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995. He currently lives in Dublin. Seamus Heaney was born on April 13, 1939 into a family of nine children at the family farmhouse called Mossbawn, between Castledawson and Toomebridge in Northern Ireland. In 1953, his family moved to Bellaghy, a few miles away, which is now the family home. His father, Patrick Heaney, owned and worked a small farm of fifty acres in County Londonderry, but his real commitment was to cattle-dealing, to which he was introduced by the uncles who had cared for him after the early death of his own parents. Seamus' mother came from the McCann family, whose uncles and relations were employed in the local linen mill and whose aunt had worked as a maid to the mill owners' family. The poet has commented on the fact that his parentage thus contains both the Ireland of the cattle-herding Gaelic past and the Ulster of the Industrial...

LLLouise Labé
Louise Labé, (c. 1520 or 1522, Lyon - April 25, 1566, Parcieux-en-Dombes), also identified as La Belle Cordière, was a female French poet of the Renaissance, born at Lyon, the daughter of a rich ropemaker, Pierre Charly, and his second wife, Etiennette Roybet. A recent book has argued that the poetry asscribed to her was a feminist creation of a number of French male poets of the Renaissance (see below). Both her father and her stepmother Antoinette Taillard (whom Pierre Charly married following Etiennette Roybet's death in 1523) were illiterate, but Labé received an education in Latin, Italian and music, perhaps in a convent school. At the siege of Perpignan, or in a tournament there, she is said to have dressed in male clothing and fought on horseback in the ranks of the Dauphin, afterwards Henry II. Between 1543 and 1545 she married Ennemond Perrin, a ropemaker. She became active in a circle of Lyonnais poets and humanists grouped around the figure of Maurice Scève. Her Œuvres were...
