19th-century poets

Georges-Maurice de Guérin (4 August 1810 – 19 July 1839) was a French poet. His works were imbued with a passion for nature whose intensity reached almost to worship and was enriched by pagan elements. According to Sainte-Beuve, no French poet or painter rendered "the feeling for nature, the feeling for the origin of things and the sovereign principle of life" as well as Guérin.

Arsène Houssaye (28 March 1815 – 26 February 1896) was a French novelist, poet and man of letters.

Maurice Rollinat (December 29, 1846 in Châteauroux, Indre – October 26, 1903 in Ivry-sur-Seine) was a French poet and musician.

Pierre Martin Victor Richard de Laprade (13 January 1812 – 13 December 1883), known as Victor de Laprade, was a French poet and critic.
