Jean Richepin ((:ʒɑ̃ ʁiʃpɛ̃); 4 February 1849 - 12 December 1926), French poet, novelist and dramatist, the son of an army doctor, was born at Médéa, French Algeria. At school and at the École Normale Supérieure he gave evidence of brilliant, if somewhat undisciplined, powers, for which he found physical vent in different directions—first as a franc-tireur in the Franco-German War, and afterwards as actor, sailor and stevedore—and an intellectual outlet in the writing of poems, plays and novels which vividly reflected his erratic but unmistakable talent. A play, ''L'Étoile'', written by him in collaboration with André Gill (1840–1885), was produced in 1873; but Richepin was virtually unknown until the publication, in 1876, of a volume of verse entitled ''La Chanson des gueux'', when his outspokenness resulted in his being imprisoned and fined for ''outrage aux mœurs''.〔Yve-Plessis, R. ''Bibliographie raisonée l'argot et de la langue verte en France du xv au xx siècle'' (Paris, 1901), p. 128.〕 The same quality characterized his succeeding volumes of verse: ''Les Caresses'' (1877), ''Les Blasphèmes'' (1884), ''La Mer'' (1886), ''Mes paradis'' (1894), ''La Bombarde'' (1899). His novels have developed in style from the morbidity and brutality of ''Les morts bizarres'' (1876), ''La Glu'' (1881) and ''Le Pavé'' (1883) to the more thoughtful psychology of ''Madame André'' (1878), ''Sophie Monnier'' (1884), ''Cisarine'' (1888), ''L'Aîné'' (1893), ''Grandes amoureuses'' (1896) and ''La Gibasse'' (1899), and the more simple portrayal of life in ''Miarka'' (1883), ''Les Braves Gens'' (1886), ''Truandailles'' (1890), ''La Miseloque'' (1892) and ''Flamboche'' (1895). His plays, though occasionally marred by his characteristic propensity for dramatic violence of thought and language, constitute in many respects his best work. During the 1880s he had an affair with Sarah Bernhardt, the greatest actress of the time. Most of these were produced at the ''Comédie française''. He also wrote ''Miarka'' (1905), adapted from his novel, for the music of Alexandre Georges, and ''Le mage'' (1891) for the music of Jules Massenet. A friend of Emmanuel Chabrier, he helped the composer to correct and salvage the libretto of ''Le roi malgré lui'', as well as providing the words for ''La Sulamite''. In addition, his novel ''La Glu'' was the basis for an opera by Gabriel Dupont as well as one by Camille Erlanger. A friend of Arthur Rimbaud, he was one of only "seven known recipients" of the first edition of A Season in Hell. He died in Paris. His son, Jacques was also a dramatist. ==Bibliography== *''Nana Sahib'' (1883) *''Monsieur Scapin'' (1886) *''Le Flibustier'' (1888; the basis for an opera of the same name by César Cui) *''Par le glaive'' (1892) *''Vers la joie'' (1894) *''Le Chemineau'' (1897) *''Le Chien de garde'' (1898) *''Les Truands'' (1899) *''Don Quichotte'' (1905) *''L'Aile, Roman des Temps Nouveaux'' (1911) translated as ''The Wing'' by Brian Stableford (2011) ISBN 978-1-61227-053-1 *''Nouvelle Mythologie Illustree, Tome I & II'' (1920) *''Le Coin des Fous'' (1921) translated as ''The Crazy Corner'' by Brian Stableford (2013) ISBN 978-1-61227-142-2 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean Richepin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
