Philoxène Boyer
Philoxène Boyer (* 1829 in Cahors , † September 1867 in Paris ) was a French writer.
Boyer was the son of a high school director, in whose school he also completed his school days. Boyer then began studying at the Sorbonne in Paris. During this time he made friends a. a. with Charles Baudelaire , who also encouraged him to publish his first small works in literary magazines. His debut was discussed very controversially by the official literary critics "because of their eccentric style".
Through Baudelaire, Boyer made the acquaintance of Théodore de Banville , who also introduced him to the Parnassian circle . Boyer was soon included. In 1856 de Banville published his poem "À Philoxène Boyer". Later took Alphonse Lemerre some works Boyers, in the later became famous anthology Le Parnasse contemporain up with.
As a poet, Boyer tried to write poems in the style of the Villanelles with Charles Leconte de Lisle and Maurice Rollinat , but was not very successful in doing so.
