The 'Mercure de France' originated as a French review, founded in the 17th century under the name 'Mercure Galant', which would evolve to become, in the 20th century, a publishing house.
Under the impetus of Rémy de Gourmont and Alfred Jarry, a literary review took up the name 'Mercure de France' in 1890 and featured symbolist texts, notably by Jean Moréas, Ernest Raynaud, Jules Renard, Louis Dumur. Gradually gaining recognition, this review would publish both the greatest Parnassians (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Heredia, etc.) and witness the emergence of Jarry's Pataphysics.
The publishing house was born in its wake. It notably published the first works of Gide and Claudel, of Colette, of Apollinaire, of Georges Duhamel?

The 'Mercure de France' was originally a French periodical, founded in the 17th century under the name 'Mercure Galant', which would evolve to become, in the 20th century, a publishing house.
Under the influence of Rémy de Gourmont and Alfred Jarry, a literary review took up the name 'Mercure de France' in 1890 and offered Symbolist texts, notably by Jean Moréas, Ernest Raynaud, Jules Renard, Louis Dumur. Gradually gaining recognition, this review would publish both the greatest Parnassians (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Heredia, etc.) and witness the emergence of Jarry's Pataphysics.
The publishing house was born in its wake. It notably published the first works of Gide and Claudel, Colette, Apollinaire, Georges Duhamel?
