Valéry, Paul
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.
