Valéry, Paul (1871–1945) French poet and critic. Influenced by symbolism and Stephane Mallarmé in particular, Valéry's masterpiece is La Jeune Parque (1917). Other works, such as Le Cimetière marin (1920) and Charmes (1922), cemented his lyrical, abstract style. Valéry's Cahiers (1957–60) record his thoughts on a wide range of issues. He was elected to the Académie Française in 1925.
