| biography:
| Poet, born in Paris, France. He studied science, then developed an interest in philosophy which underlies most of his poetical works. His early Stances et poèmes (1865) was widely praised, and among his later important works were the didactic poems La Justice (1878, Justice) and Le Bonheur (1888, Happiness). A leader of the Parnassian movement, which tried to restore elegance and control to poetry in reaction against Romanticism, he received the first Nobel Prize for Literature in 1901. |
