Bertrand, Jacques-Louis-Napoleon

    0.01 sec.

Bertrand, Jacques-Louis-Napoleon (or Aloysius) (1807-1841)

French writer. His important work was all published posthumously: Keepsake fantasque (1923; poems, essays, and correspondence) and La Volupté et pièces diverses (1926). He has been called a precursor of the Symbolists, by whom he was much admired.

In the preface to his Petits Poèmes en prose, Charles Baudelaire acknowledges the influence of Bertrand's prose poems Gaspard de la nuit, ou Fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot, a work which also inspired the composer Maurice Ravel's three piano pieces under that title.
