Camille Delthil
Camille Delthil (born June 30, 1834 in Paris , † July 14, 1902 there ) was a French politician and writer.
Life
Delthil had hoped for an improvement in the political situation in France since the February Revolution of 1848 . But no later than after the coup d'état of December 1851 by Napoléon III. , the last emperor of the French, he was disaffected. Politically liberal, Delthil was vehemently opposed to the Second Empire . During the Franco-German War , Delthil was appointed "Vice-Prefect" of Castelsarrasin , Tarn-et-Garonne, with effect from September 4, 1870 .
Friends with Sully Prudhomme and Louis Ratisbonne , Delthil also became known to other Parnassians . The publisher Alphonse Lemerre included some of Delthil's poems in the later famous anthology Le Parnasse contemporain . Today Delthil is also part of this literary association.
On June 22, 1902 Delthil was appointed successor to Louis Bourgeat . He was supposed to be elected to the Senate as a representative of the “democratic left” . However, Delthil died three weeks later as a result of an operation.
The lawyer Roger-Camille Delthil was his son.
