  • François Villon, poet, thief and murderer, was born in Paris in 1431 but there is no trace of him after about 1463. This iconic figure in French poetry is the subject of a lively biographical and historical study by Aubrey Burl, Danse Macabre (2000).

    Awards won by Francois Villon Short-listed, 1999 T S Eliot Prize (Poems of Francois Villon)
