VLValery Larbaud
Valery Larbaud naît le 29 août 1881 à Vichy et décède dans la même ville le 2 février 1957. Cet écrivain français est fils unique du pharmacien Nicolas Larbaud (cinquante-neuf ans à la naissance de son fils) et d’Isabelle Bureau des Etivaux (trente-huit ans), il n’a que huit ans lorsque son père décède en 1889. Il sera élevé par sa mère et sa tante. Il obtient sa licence ès-lettres en 1908. Dans la même année, Larbaud publie sans faire connaître sa véritable identité « Poèmes par un riche amateur, ou Œuvres françaises de M. Barnabooth». La fortune familiale (son père était propriétaire de la source Vichy Saint-Yorre) lui assure une vie aisée qui lui permet de parcourir l’Europe à grands frais. Il effectue à partir de 1898, de longs voyages en Europe, devenant, à l’image de son héros Barnabooth, un homme « dont l’horizon s’étend bien au-delà de sa ville; qui connaît le monde et sa diversité ». Après avoir publié en 1911 son roman d’adolescence « Fermina Marquez », Larbaud fait paraître...

André Gide
Né le 22 novembre 1869 à Paris, André Gide est le fils unique de Paul Gide, professeur de droit, et de Juliette Rondeaux, riche bourgeoise d\'origine normande. «Né à Paris, d’un père uzétien et d’une mère normande, où voulez-vous, monsieur Barrès, que je m’enracine? J’ai donc pris le parti de voyager.» À la mort de son père, Gide n\'a que onze ans. Il est donc élevé par sa mère dans une atmosphère de rigueur morale qu\'on a dit castratrice, entouré presque exclusivement de femmes. Il épousera Madeleine Rondeaux, sa cousine de Rouen, en 1895. Dégagé de tout souci financier grâce à sa fortune personnelle, Gide s\'oriente très tôt vers une carrière littéraire dont ses premiers échecs ne le détournent pas les Cahiers d\'André Walter (1891), publié à compte d\'auteur: il se déclare soucieux de produire une œuvre qui assure sa postérité plus que sa gloire immédiate. Après Paludes (1895), Gide se moque des symbolistes et de lui-même, il publie les Nourritures terrestres (1897). Ce livre...

CSCharles Louis de Secondad
Charles-Louis de Secondat, baron de La Brède et de Montesquieu (English pronunciation: /ˈmɒntɨskjuː/; 18 January 1689, La Brède, Gironde – 10 February 1755), was a French social commentator and political thinker who lived during the Era of the Enlightenment. He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers, taken for granted in modern discussions of government and implemented in many constitutions throughout the world. He was largely responsible for the popularization of the terms feudalism and Byzantine Empire. After having studied at the Catholic College of Juilly, Charles-Louis de Secondat married. His wife, Jeanne de Lartigue, a Protestant, brought him a substantial dowry when he was 26. The next year, he inherited a fortune upon the death of his uncle, as well as the title Baron de Montesquieu and Président à Mortier in the Parliament of Bordeaux. By that time, England had declared itself a constitutional monarchy in the...

RGRosemonde Gérard
Naissance à Paris de Louise-Rose-Étiennette Gérard, dite Rosemonde Gérard,le 5 avril 1871. Son parrain était le poète Leconte de Lisle et son tuteur Alexandre Dumas. En 1890, elle épouse le 8 avril 1890, à Paris en l'église Saint-Augustin, Edmond Rostand, poète comme elle. Dodette était son surnom familier. Contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait croire, elle n'avait pas formé son prénom de la rencontre de Rose et d'Edmond : elle s'appelait vraiment Rosemonde de façon prédestinée, et ce prénom lui venait de sa grand-mère, Rosemonde de Valence, fille du comte de Valence et épouse du maréchal Gérard. Dans son ascendance elle comptait la célèbre Mme de Genlis. Son père était le comte Gérard, fils du maréchal. Orpheline de père, elle avait dans son conseil de famille Alexandre Dumas et Leconte de Lisle. Rosemonde Gérard avait donc signé de son vrai nom "Les Pipeaux", parus en 1889. Le jeune ménage venait habiter 107, boulevard Malesherbes et peu après 2, rue Fortuny. C'est là qu'allaient naître...

RVRenée Vivien
Renée Vivien, born Pauline Mary Tarn (11 June 1877 - 18 November 1909) was a British poet who wrote in the French language.[1][2] She took to heart all the mannerisms of Symbolism, as one of the last poets to claim allegiance to the school. Her compositions include sonnets, hendecasyllabic verse, and prose poetry. Vivien was born in London, England to a wealthy British father and an American mother from Jackson, Michigan. She grew up in Paris and London. Upon inheriting her father's fortune at 21, she emigrated permanently to France. In Paris, Vivien's dress and lifestyle were as notorious among the bohemian set as was her verse. She lived lavishly, as an open lesbian, and carried on a well-known affair with American heiress and writer Natalie Clifford Barney. She also harbored a lifelong obsession with her closest childhood friend and neighbor, Violet Shillito – a relationship that remained unconsummated. In 1900 Vivien abandoned this chaste love, when the great romance with Natalie...

ELEdward Lear
Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned today primarily for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularised. Lear was born into a middle-class family in the village of Holloway, the 21st child of Ann and Jeremiah Lear. He was raised by his eldest sister, also named Ann, 21 years his senior. Ann doted on Lear and continued to mother him until her death, when Lear was almost 50 years of age. Due to the family's failing financial fortune, at age four he and his sister had to leave the family home and set up house together. Largely educated by himself, Lear has been described as idiosyncratic yet brilliantly talented[citation needed]. Lear also suffered from health issues. From the age of six he suffered frequent grand mal epileptic seizures, and bronchitis, asthma, and in later life, partial blindness. Lear experienced his first seizure at a fair near Highgate with his...

VLVilliers de l'Isle-Adam
Jean-Marie-Mathias-Philippe-Auguste, comte de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (7 November 1838 – 19 August 1889) was a French symbolist writer. Villiers de l'Isle-Adam was born in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany, to a distinguished aristocratic family. His parents, Marquis Joseph-Toussaint and Marie-Francoise (née Le Nepvou de Carfort) were not rich, however, and were financially supported by Marie's aunt, Mademoiselle de Kerinou. His father became obsessed with the idea he could restore the family fortune by finding the lost treasure of the Knights of Malta (Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, 16th century Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, was his ancestor), which had reputedly been buried near Quintin during the French Revolution. Consequently, he spent large sums of money buying land, excavating it and then selling it at a loss when he failed to find anything of value. The young Villiers' education was troubled (he attended over half a dozen different schools) but from an early age his family...
