| biography:
| Poet, novelist and critic, born in Bazoches-en-Houlme, NE France. Having been dismissed from his post at the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris (1891), because of an allegedly unpatriotic article in Mercure de France, of which he was a co-founder, he lived the life of a recluse. His creative work, which was in the Symbolist vogue, includes Sixtine (1890, trans Very Woman) and Un Coeur virginal (1907, A Virgin Heart). |
