In addition to his activities as a novelist, chronicler and memoirist, Maxime Du Camp was also a poet. The two collections that mark his career, Les chants modernes (1855) and Les Convictions (1857), reproduce both well-known romantic themes and adventurous and remarkable exercises in the technical modernity of the middle of the nineteenth century. Despite their traditional style, Maxime Du Camp’s verses raise the question of a form of literary and ideological engagement.
