Bouchor, Maurice, 1855-1929We have 1 book for this author.
Maurice Bouchor (15 December 1855 - 1929) was a French poet and sculptor. He was born in Paris. He published in succession Chansons joyeuses (1874), Poemes de l'amour et de la mer (1875), Le Faust moderne (1878) in prose and verse, and Les Conies parisiens (1880) in verse. His Aurore (1883) showed a tendency to religious mysticism, which reached its fullest expression in Les Symboles (1888; new series, 1895), the most interesting of his works. Bouchor (whose brother, Joseph Felix Bouchor, b. 1853, became well known as an artist) was a sculptor as well as a poet, and he designed and worked the figures used in his charming pieces as marionettes, the words being recited or chanted by himself or his friends behind the scenes. These miniature dramas on religious subjects, Tobie (1889), Noel (1890) and Sainte Cecils (1892), were produced in Paris at the Theatre des Marion-nettes. A one-act verse drama by Bouchor, Conte de Noel, was played at the Theatre Francais in 1895, but Dieu le veut (1888) was not produced. In conjunction with the musician Julien Tiersot (b. 1857), he made efforts for the preservation of the French folk songs, and published Chants populaires pour les ecoles (1897). External links
