EDITORS COMMENTS
Emile Bergerat, the enigmatic French poet and playwright, is depicted in this charming caricature sketch from circa 1901. Known for his literary prowess and creative use of pseudonyms, Bergerat was often referred to as l'Homme masque, Caliban, and Ariel, characters from Shakespeare's The Tempest that reflected his complex and multifaceted personality. In this image, Bergerat is protectively clutching a stack of books to his chest, a testament to his deep love and dedication to the written word. The image is from the esteemed collection Les Maîtres de l'Art at Mary Evans Prints Online, and offers a glimpse into the life of this intriguing literary figure. Born in November 1845, Bergerat's works were published in various journals and magazines throughout his long and prolific career. His poetry and plays, which explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition, continue to captivate readers and scholars to this day. This caricature serves as a reminder of Bergerat's enduring legacy as a literary master, and the profound impact he had on the French literary landscape during his time.
