Jean François Victor Aicard (4 February 1848 – 13 May 1921) was a French poet, dramatist and novelist.[1]
Biography
He was born in Toulon. His father, Jean Aicard, was a journalist of some distinction,[2] and the son began his career in 1867 with Les Jeunes Croyances, followed in 1870 by a one-act play produced at the Marseille theatre.
He was elected a member of the Académie française in 1909.
Jean Aicard died in Paris, 13 May 1921.[3]
Writings
His poems include: Les Rebellions et les apaisements (1871); Poèmes de Provence (1874), and La Chanson de l'enfant (1876), both of which were crowned by the Academy; Miette et Noré (1880), a Provençal idyll; Le Livre d'heures de l'amour (1887); Jésus (1896). Of his plays the most successful was Le Père Lebonnard (1890), which was originally produced at the Théâtre Libre. Among his other works are the novels, Le Roi de Camargue (1890), L'Ame d'un enfant (1898) and Tata (1901), Benjamine (1906) and La Vénus de Milo (1874); an account of the discovery of the statue from unpublished documents.[2]
