Widger's Quotes and Images from Cinq Mars by Alfred de Vigny

Alfred de Vigny

1797–1863

A major voice of French Romanticism, this poet, novelist, and playwright brought a reflective, often stoic tone to 19th-century literature. Best known for works including Poèmes antiques et modernes, Cinq-Mars, and Chatterton, he wrote about honor, suffering, and the inner life with unusual intensity.
