 Georges Brassens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An iconic figure in France, he achieved fame through his simple, elegant songs and articulate, diverse lyrics; indeed, he is considered one of France's best postwar poets, and won the national poetry prize.
In addition, he set to music poems by many well-known and relatively obscure poets, including Louis Aragon (Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux), Victor Hugo, Jean Richepin and others.
He rarely performed outside his own country, and his lyrics are hard to translate, though attempts have been made.

Charles Cros, the inventor of the phonograph, was the most popular poet-singer of this kind in mid-nineteenth-century Paris, and his poems spoke for a way of life completely unassimilable by the money-crazy, hypocritical, debauched, and puritanical society of Louis Napoleon’s gimcrack Second Empire.
Jean Baudrillard’s insights into finality demonstrate that “ends” always prompt cultures to speculate on what can or will happen after these terminations and to fear those traumatic ends, in which the impossible actually occurs, may only be the beginning of chaos.
Critics as different as Jean Starobinski and Michel Foucault have noted their inability to move from paraphrase or repetition to a genuine exegesis of Blanchot's work.

The EMI set had all the songs in chronological order, the others chose poets or moods — Johnson and company have opted for songs about water to start with.
This means a lot of dreaming and melancholy, whether in Théophile Gautier’s Chanson du pêcheur (‘Ma belle amie est morte’, also set by Berlioz), or Jean Richepin’s Au cimitière.
The latter is given a most beautiful rendition by John Mark Ainsley, who otherwise only sings on two tracks, with Jennifer Smith in the sentimental Pleurs d’or, and the homage to Venice and its lovers in Marc Monnier’s Barcarolle.

 The New York Review of Books: Paranoid Poetics
Voyage au bout de la nuit, which appeared in 1932, was not simply a continuation of the pessimistic literature of the nineteenth-century "realists." It was Zola-esque in its flness, but it had a frenzy, a speed, and a virulence which made the average Zola novel suddenly seem almost as old-fashioned as a horse-drawn bus.
Zola had toyed with the idea of using the working-class vernacular as a medium for the expression of social reality, as had Jean Richepin and a number of minor satirical poets, but no one before Céline had exploited the figurative obscenities and racy syntax of the spoken language in such a thoroughgoing and masterly fashion.
It was as if the underdog had suddenly found a voice.

 Classic Images: Sarah Bernhardt
One critic wrote that "Bernhardt is the perfect mistress of gesture, pose and expression, and the pictures make the story thrillingly plain." Sarah herself, discussing the art of the film at this time, thoughtfully said that "if I could have watched myself in motion pictures at rehearsals I would have been a better actress."
Jean Cocteau, on viewing Camille years later, paid Sarah a somewhat dubious compliment: "I recommend to those who cannot admit the existence of sacred monsters that they go to New York and see the film of Madame Sarah Bernhardt...
