Henri de Latouche
Hyacinthe-Joseph Alexandre Thabaud de Latouche , called Henri de Latouche (born February 2, 1785 in La Châtre , Indre department ; † March 9, 1851 in Châtenay-Malabry , Hauts-de-Seine department ) was a French writer.
Hyacinthe Thabaud de Latouche was a civil servant in the management of indirect taxes. Between 1808 and 1810 he had a love affair with the actress and later poet Marceline Desbordes , and their child died in 1816. With the fall of the German Empire, he lost his job and lived on the proceeds of his pen. He wrote a large number of poems, comedies, novels and journal articles. These include those published in 1818:
- Proces complet des prevenus de l'assassinat de M. Fualdes
- Mémoires de Madame Manson
- Selmours de Florian (together with Émile Deschamps )
- Le tour de faveur
From 1819 to 1830 he belonged to the romantic school, composed ballads according to German and English models and acquired the name of Hesiod of the romantic school through fresh and witty descriptions . During this time, André Chénier's poems (1819) and the novel Olivier Brusson (1823), which he copied from ETA Hoffmann without citing the source , were published; the Correspondance de Clément XIV et de Carlin (1827), a novel in letters against the Jesuits, published by him as authentic, and the novel Fragoletta ou Naples et Paris en 1799 (1829). In the same year, de Latouche suddenly turned against his previous friends with the article La camaraderie littéraire ; but his wickedness received a crude lesson from an article by Gustave Planche in the Revue des Deux Mondes (1831): La haine littéraire . By 1832 he edited Figaro in an anti-liberal sense and wrote the poems:
- La Vallée aux loups (1833),
- Les Adieux (1842),
- Encore adieu (only published in 1852)
