The radical, French Romantic poet finds his ideal translators in Gallas and Ganz, bringing this important poet to the attention of a modern audience
•
An intense, extravagant and eccentric individual, he assumed the name le Lycanthrope (the “Wolfman”)
•
His work has flavours of horror and melodrama and would later inspire the Surrealists
•
All the major poems are here, including Rhapsodies (1832) and selections from the later work
•
At last Borel can be read for his many tones (hilarious, moving, melancholy, stentorian), his politics, and his sometimes bizarre vision
ABOUT THE AUTHOR (DECE A SED) Petrus Borel (26 June 1809 – 14 July 1859) was a French writer of the Romantic movement. Born Joseph-Pierre Borel dHauterive at Lyon, the 12 of 14 children of an ironmonger, he studied architecture in Paris but abandoned it for literature. Nicknamed le Lycanthrope (“wolfman”), and the center of the circle of Bohemians in Paris, he was noted for extravagant and eccentric writing, foreshadowing Surrealism. He was not commercially successful though, and eventually was found a minor civil service post by his friends, including Théophile Gautier. He died at Mostaganem in Algeria.

His subsequent career was in education and during this time he also worked intensively on the translation of contemporary Italian poetry, in particular that of Salvatore Quasimodo.
