Talk:Maurice Scève

Expansion of Works section
There's a need for expanded coverage of works, especially the Delie, which probably deserves its own section. Some coverage should also be given to the style and influences mentioned in the lead, and the significance of Sceve's work (it seems to have had an impact in his own lifetime, only to be largely forgotten from shortly after his death, through the mid-1800's).

The tomb of Petrarch’s Laura
"While in Avignon in 1533, Scève reportedly discovered the tomb of Petrarch’s Laura. Jean de Tournes describes this discovery in the dedication to his 1545 French translation of Petrarch’s Rime Sparse." http://www2.lib.virginia.edu/rmds/portfolio/gordon/literary/sceve/

Other sources discuss this story, as well. All acknowledging it as possibly apocryphal. I think it deserves a full handling here, as the section on Sceve's life develops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomajohnson (talk • contribs) 00:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
