Abstract

This paper analyzes the poetry arisen well into the second half of the 19th Century in France, which in some cases is a precedent of the subsequent Romantic poetry, especially the poetry written by Lamartine. The author of Méditations poétiques will copy subjects and situations from these French Pre-romantic poets, whose books of poems develop different varieties of the melancholy and its consequences, from the „douce mélancolie‟ by Chamfort to the suffering melancholy by Millevoye, going through the different melancholic sensitivities from Gilbert, Parny and Legouvé.
