Childhood

Birthplace of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore in Douai.
Marceline Desbordes is the daughter of Catherine Lucas1 and Félix Desbordes, a coat of arms painter, who became a tavern owner in Douai, France, after being ruined by the Revolution. At the end of 1801, after a stay in Rochefort and another in Bordeaux, the fifteen-year-old girl and her mother set sail for Guadeloupe to seek financial help from a well-off cousin living there.
The journey undertaken, which was to be a new departure, becomes a real ordeal: on the one hand, the boat crossing, which lasts twenty-five days, is longer than expected and weakens the two women; on the other hand, an epidemic of yellow fever broke out in Guadeloupe and killed, in May 1802, the mother of Marceline Desbordes; finally, political unrest shakes the island and the cousin's financial situation turns out to be less good than expected: the help he provides is therefore very meager. Marceline leaves to join her father after the death of her mother.
Theatrical career
Back in mainland France near her father in Douai, Marceline Desbordes became an actress at the age of sixteen. She played at the Italian theater of Douai, in Lille, in Rouen (thanks to her meeting with the composer Grétry) and in Paris. An actress, singer and singer, she performed not only at the Odéon theater and the Opéra-Comique in Paris, but also at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, where in 1815 she played Rosine in The Barber of Seville by Beaumarchais. .
During her theatrical career, she often played ingénue roles. She created several pieces by Pigault-Lebrun, met Talma, whom she admired, Marie Dorval and especially Mademoiselle Mars , who would be her friend until the end of her days.
Poetess
Doctor Jean-Louis Alibert takes serum from a servant's baby to vaccinate the child of Mrs. Desbordes-Valmore, seated. Drawing by Constant Joseph Desbordes, uncle of the latter, 1822.
Between 1808 and 1812, Desbordes temporarily stopped acting, during his affair with Eugène Debonne, from a family of good Rouen society. A son, Marie-Eugène, was born from their affair. But the Debonne family refusing a union with a former actress, Marceline Desbordes leaves her lover definitively and returns to the theater, at the Odéon then at La Monnaie in Brussels. It was there, in 1816, that little Marie-Eugène died, before he was even six years old.
In 1817, Marceline Desbordes married an actor, Prosper Lanchantin, known as Valmore, whom she met while she was playing in Brussels. She had four children by him: Junie (born in 1818) died at a young age; Hippolyte (1820-1892), who will be the only one to survive his mother; Hyacinthe (1821-1853), known as Ondine, composed poems and stories before dying at the age of thirty-one (she was probably the daughter of Marceline Debordes-Valmore's lover, Henri de Latouche, whose passionate memory will haunt all his work); Inès (1825-1846), who died at the age of twenty-one.

In 1819, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore published her first collection of poems, Élégies et Romances, which attracted attention and opened the pages of different newspapers, such as the Journal des dames et des modes, L'Observateur des modes and La Muse française . In 1820 the Poems of Mme Desbordes-Valmore appeared.
The couple then settled in Lyon. Marceline Desbordes-Valmore continues to see Henri de Latouche and maintains a sustained epistolary relationship with him.
After 1823, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore left the theater definitively to devote herself to writing. His most important works are Elegies and new poems (1824), Tears (1833), Poor flowers (1839) and Bouquets and Prayers (1843). His works, whose lyricism and boldness of versification are noted, earned him a royal pension under Louis-Philippe I and several academic distinctions2. She also writes short stories and composes stories for children, in prose and verse. In 1833, she published an autobiographical novel, L'Atelier d'un Peinture, in which she highlights the difficulty for a woman to be fully recognized as an artist.
Louise Crombach will introduce him to Marie Pape-Carpantier3. Desbordes-Valmore intervened in the trial on May 30, 1845 of Crombach accused of having let a captive escape4. She exclaims5,6:
“I once saw a court of men up close. This is not how I understand light and justice. »
— Quoted by Francis Ambrière (83) Women's Grievance II, p119
Last days
Marceline Desbordes-Valmore died in Paris on July 23, 1859, in her final home at 59, rue de Rivoli, after having survived the deaths of almost all her children and her brother.

Avant-garde poetry
A pioneer of romanticism17, one of the greatest poets since Louise Labé, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, despite intermittent prolixity, is an unexpected precursor of the masters of modern French poetry: Rimbaud18 and especially Verlaine. We owe him the invention of more than one rhythm: that of eleven syllables and the genesis of Romances sans mots19. This supposedly ignorant woman was a little-known scholar. Furthermore, she was the indisputable godmother of "muses" of the end of the century: Anna de Noailles, Gérard d'Houville, Renée Vivien, Cécile Sauvage, Marie Noël. Louis Aragon, who admired her, made reference to her on several occasions, such as in his collection Elsa (“Valmore qui cries à midnight”, in “I came to you as the river goes to the sea”) or in Les Poets (“The Journey to Italy”).
Desbordes-Valmore's poetry is a poetry of dialogue, within a community. In this dialogue listening comes first. This community is most of the time that of childhood, even if imaginary, but certain events of a social or political order, experienced during her life, such as the Revolt of the Canuts, establish her as an actress in the world. The author's presence comes in the play of voices, in fidelity to childhood, particularly in a mother-child relationship, the founder of all human relationships, but where something always recalls the extended community. For example, in the poem My Mother's House20, the well, the poor man, the washerwoman21.
This wide and sleepy well with enclosed crystal,
Where my mother bathed her beloved child:
When she rocked the air with her dreamy voice
How calm and white and peaceful it was in the evening,
Quenching the thirst of the poor man seated, as one seems to see
In the streams of the Bible a fresh washer...
But a return to childhood is impossible, and we must develop, during a sort of initiatory process, the experience of freedom. Thus in the poem La Vallée de la Scarpe22. A contemporary of the French Revolution, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore embraces freedom in a multitude of voices, in a multitude of "I's", in the affirmation of her identity as a woman and of women, in dialogue with her people. She thereby distinguishes herself from the conceptions of Victor Hugo, also her contemporary, who defends in his poetry the appearance of the full and complete person when she separates from her environment to become herself21.
She also wrote in Picard. In 1896, a printer from Douai collected this work in a volume called Poésies en patois23.
