Biography edit

Born at Lyon on 26 June 1809, the twelfth of fourteen children of an ironmonger, he studied architecture in Paris but abandoned it for literature. Nicknamed le Lycanthrope ("wolfman"), and the centre of the circle of Bohemians in Paris,[1] he was noted for his extravagant and eccentric style of writing, foreshadowing Surrealism. He was not commercially successful, and was eventually found a minor civil service post by his friend Théophile Gautier.[2] He is considered to be one of the poète maudits, like Aloysius Bertrand, or Alice de Chambrier.

Borel died at Mostaganem in French Algeria on 14 July 1859.[1]

He was the subject of a biography by Enid Starkie, Petrus Borel: The Lycanthrope (1954).[citation needed]
