Urfé, Honore d'

    0.01 sec.

Urfé, Honore d' (1567–1625)

French writer. His main work was a vast and influential pastoral romance, L'Astrée/Astrea, the first part of which was published in 1607 and the fifth posthumously in 1627. The final section was completed by his secretary, Balthazar Baro, on the basis of Urfe's notes. This tale of shepherds and shepherdesses in love was inspired by earlier Spanish and Italian works; for example, Torquato Tasso's Arcadian drama L'Aminta (1581).
