René Ghil
René François Ghilbert (27 September 1862 – 15 September 1925), known as
René Ghil, was a French poet. He was a disciple of
Stéphane Mallarmé, a major contributor to the
symbolist movement in France, although they later had a falling out over ideological differences. Ghil published a series a short stories which together were called the ''Traité du Verbe''. He worked extensively on a new system of poetic language in reaction to the
Decadent Movement and Symbolism. Owing to his widespread use of personal syntax and
neological vocabulary, much of Ghil's work was inaccessible, and his own contemporaries labelled it confusing. However, his works gained wider attention after his death.
