First edition, rare.<\/span><\/p>\nOften offering a disenchanted vision of society, Alfred de Vigny’s poems, rich in symbolism, foreshadow the poetic modernity of Baudelaire, Verlaine and Mallarm\u00e9. Born at the end of the eighteenth century, on 27 March 1797 in Loches, into a small military aristocratic family with a strong monarchist streak, the only survivor of three brothers, Alfred de Vigny was brought up in Paris by his parents: \u00ab Mon p\u00e8re, ruin\u00e9 par la R\u00e9volution, consacra le reste de son bien \u00e0 mon \u00e9ducation. Bon vieillard \u00e0 cheveux blancs, spirituel, instruit, bless\u00e9, mutil\u00e9 par la guerre de Sept ans, et gai, et plein de gr\u00e2ces, de mani\u00e8res\u00bb. <\/p>\n
Married to the Chevalier de Vigny, who was 25 years older than her, his mother, with whom he remained very close throughout his life, had the ambition to write and played an important role in her son’s intellectual and literary training. After attending the Ecole Polytechnique, the officer who was almost a child was admitted as a gendarme to the King on 6 July 1814, and for 15 years went from garrison to garrison, remaining in the army until 1827. This monotonous life – which inspired his Servitude et grandeur militaires <\/i>– but above all his taste for letters led him to write. He was not yet twenty when, in parallel with his military career, he began to write poetry and quickly made a name for himself in literary circles. From 1820 onwards, he was part of the first \u2018C\u00e9nacle\u2019 of Victor Hugo and Nodier and became one of the leaders of the Romantic school. In March 1822 he published his first collection of poetry, Po\u00ebmes<\/i>.<\/p>\n
“Ce recueil de po\u00e9sies est de la plus grande raret\u00e9: un seul po\u00e8me, Le Bal, avait paru en d\u00e9cembre 1819 dans Le Conservateur litt\u00e9raire,. Il contient deux pi\u00e8ces, H\u00e9l\u00e9na et Le Malheur qui n’ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9imprim\u00e9es dans les \u00e9ditions suivantes et certaines qui l’ont \u00e9t\u00e9 avec retranchements” (Carteret).<\/p>\n
For 16 years, from 1822 to 1838, he devoted himself to literature, writing poems, novels, dramas, short stories and Chatterton. Played by Marie Dorval, with whom Vigny had an affair, the play was performed at the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise and brought him fame.
In 1845 he was admitted to the Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise but refused to praise King Louis Philippe in his speech, which irritated the other members of the Acad\u00e9mie, only Victor Hugo remained loyal to him.<\/p>\n
