Pierre de Deimier’s “Académie de l’art poétique” is a treaty written at the time of transition between Renaissance and Classical aesthetics. Consequently, Deimier, who continues to respect the regularisation of French poetry, is much more liberal in the applications of the rules of literature than his successors. Contrary to his predecessors, he acknowledges the primacy of invention over imitation, and distinguishes between free and close imitation. Only free imitation is acceptable.

In their treaties, Deimier and Rapin welcome novelty and individualism. But, if Deimier sees this creative freedom as synonymous with inventiveness, Rapin attaches it, paradoxically, to the imitation of classical antiquity. This is indeed because he is dissatisfied with the output of French writers. In his view, French letters fail to match the greatness and the sublime quality of Latin and Greek literature, which he recommends should be studied and imitated. In imitating Homer and his art, irregular but captivating and full of charm, contemporary poets can hope to create singular and incomparable works of literature.
