Abstract: Tristan L’Hermite shares with the poets of the sixteenth century a taste for varietas and a regulated but flexible dispositio, which favors multiple readings of a poetry with open forms. Strongly individualized, his poetic pieces confer a coherence to the books through their belonging to a common space, as in Baïf and Ronsard. The threads that link them to the other pieces seem tenuous, as they are characterized by diversity and placed in a heterogeneous environment.
