Jean Moreas
Jean Moréas (1856-1910), born Iannis Papadiamontopolos, was a Greek poet who wrote in the French language.
He was an adherent of the school of Symbolism, and wrote the Symbolist Manifesto[?]. In his lifestyle and dress, he was a noted exponent of dandyism[?], and his verse was marked by the highly embellished mannerisms of the Symbolist school. His later work is marked by a return to classicism and the style of the Parnassians[?].
His most important publications were:
- Les Syrtes (1884)
- Les Cantilènes (1886)
- Le Pèlerin passioné (1891)
- Stances (1893)
- Contes de la vielle France (1904)
