Albert Glatigny

Albert Glatigny , actually Joseph-Alexandre-Albert Glatigny , (born May 21, 1839 in Lillebonne , Seine-Maritime department , † April 16, 1873 in Sèvres , Hauts-de-Seine department ) was a French actor and writer.

Glatigny came from a simple family of craftsmen. He completed an apprenticeship as a printer, but then became an actor for a short time. Through his acquaintance with Théodore de Banville , he became familiar with modern literature and also made friends with some Parnassians .

With the support of Banville, Glatigny began to write himself and is now counted among the Parnassians. Catulle Mendès addressed Glatigny's life in a play in 1906 and also brought it to the stage.

Around five weeks before his 34th birthday, Glatigny died on April 16, 1873 in Sèvres.

In 1917, Glatigny was posthumously awarded the “prix de literature” of the Académie française for his entire literary works .
