Œuvres de François Coppée | Complete 5-Volume Set in Full Vellum, Limited Edition | 1898

A François Coppée (1842–1908) was a prominent French poet, playwright, and novelist associated with the Parnassian movement, known for its emphasis on precise form and emotional subtlety. Often called “the poet of the humble,” Coppée wrote with deep compassion for ordinary people—soldiers, laborers, mothers, and the overlooked lives of Paris. His poetry blends lyrical warmth with a gentle realism, and works such as Les Humbles and Poèmes modernes earned him widespread admiration. Later elected to the Académie Française, Coppée became an influential literary voice of late-19th-century France, celebrated for his accessible, heartfelt style.
