La Morte Amoureuse by Gautier
Pierre Jules Theophile Gautier (1811-1872) est un poete, romancier, peintre et critique d'art francais. Lecteur avide, il a cinq ans lorsqu'il commence a lire. Sa grande passion est Robinson Crusoe. En 1820, a l'age de huit ans, il fait un bref sejour en tant que pensionnaire au lycee Louis-le-Grand. Tout en menant toutes les grandes campagnes romantiques, il ecrit un premier recueil de vers, dont son pere finance la publication. Il travaille egalement pour le magazine de Charles Malo, La France Litteraire, et pour le quotidien d'Emile de Girardin, La Presse. Dans ce journal, Gautier se charge d'abord de la critique d'art. On evalue a plus de deux mille le nombre des feuilletons et articles qu'il aurait rediges pour ce journal. Ainsi en 1838 parait La Comedie de la Mort, un recueil de poemes assez different des precedents ou, sous l'influence de Shakespeare, Goethe et Dante, Gautier sculpte avec vigueur le spectre de la Mort. En 1839, Gautier cede a la tentation du theatre qu'il admire depuis toujours et ecrit Une Larme du Diable puis Le Tricorne Enchante et Pierrot Posthume.
Gautier, Theophile: - Pierre Jules Theophile Gautier (1811 - 1872) was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and art and literary critic. While an ardent defender of Romanticism, Gautier's work is difficult to classify and remains a point of reference for many subsequent literary traditions such as Parnassianism, Symbolism, Decadence and Modernism. Early in his life, Gautier befriended Gerard de Nerval, who influenced him greatly in his earlier poetry and also through whom he was introduced to Victor Hugo. He shared in Hugo's dissatisfaction with the theatrical outputs of the time and the use of the word tragedy. Gautier admired Honore de Balzac for his contributions to the development of French literature. Gautier was influenced greatly by his friends as well, paying tribute to them in his writings. In fact, he dedicated his collection of Dernieres Poesies to his many friends, including Herbert, Madame de la Grangerie, Maxime Du Camp and Princess Mathilde Bonaparte.
