frlit1-2, Exercise 3: A distinctive writer

Model answer (an example):

Villon. He was a Parisian poet and criminal whose Testament mixes humour, fear of death and street slang, and he is often called the first modern French poet because of that personal voice. Needs checking: the details of his crimes and flights from Paris, the sentence of hanging reduced to banishment, and the fact that nothing certain is known of him afterwards.

Christine de Pizan is also acceptable: born in Venice and raised in France, often described as one of the first women to earn a living by writing, author of the Book of the City of Ladies. Needs checking: the dates and the "first" claim.
