François de Malherbe is a French poet, born in Caen around 15551 and died in Paris on October 16, 1628. He is the son of François, squire, lord of Digny, advisor to the bailiwick and president of Caen, and of Louise Le Vallois. Poet official from 1605 to 1628, his evolution from magnificence to sobriety reflects the transition from baroque taste to classical taste, bringing poetry towards great simplicity. His influence was considerable on French poetry. Although he did not write poetic art, a doctrine was drawn from his works, from his annotations on his copy of the poems of Philippe Desportes and from the oral remarks reported by his contemporaries. It was notably his disciples François Maynard and Honorat de Bueil de Racan who, following their master, created the corpus praising “classical harmony”, which would predominate for almost a century. Throughout the 17th century, Malherbe was the major reference for classical theorists. In his Poetic Art (1674), Nicolas Boileau praises him with fervor, beginning his eulogy with the famous hemistich “Finally Malherbe came”. François de Malherbe, from a noble family, is the son of a presidential advisor in Caen, the city in which he was born. He first studied law, which he abandoned. At the age of 19, he became attached to Henri d'Angoulême, natural son of Henri II, and grand prior of France2. He fought in the ranks of the League, before marrying Madeleine de Coriolis3, the daughter of a president of the Parliament of Provence, in 1581 and settling in Aix. Called to Paris on business in 1585, his protector the Duke of Angoulême died the following year. He first returned to Normandy, then Provence, and looked for a new powerful protector: in 1592, he dedicated to Henry III The Tears of Saint Peter (a poem he later disavowed), and to Marie de Medici Ode of Welcome to Marie de Medici (1600), who had it noticed by the Court. He also translated the works of Seneca. Despite the recommendation of Cardinal Du Perron, who admired his talent, it was only in 1605 that he obtained his first audience with Henri IV, who ordered Prayer for the King going to Limousin. This poem greatly pleases the King, who retains it at court. Malherbe, aged fifty, thus became the official poet, a title which he kept until his death, both under the regency of Marie de Medici and under the reign of Louis XIII2. His only remaining son, Marc-Antoine de Malherbe, was killed in a duel at the Château de Cadenet in 1627 by Paul de Fortia de Piles4, assisted by his brother-in-law Gaspard de Covet de Marignane5.
