Banville, Théodore Faullain de

    0.12 sec.

Banville, Théodore Faullain de (1823–1891)

French writer. He produced volumes of verse, including Les Cariatides/The Caryatids (1842); comedies, including Gringoire (1866); and tales. His delightful handling of ballades, rondeaux, and other medieval forms of verse was the starting point of a notable revival of these forms.

Other volumes of verse include Les Stalactites/The Stalactites (1846), Odelettes/Short Odes (1857), and Odes funambulesques/Bizarre Odes (1857). His Petit Traité de poésie française/Short Treatise on French Poetry (1872) is a valuable work on French versification.
