The 'Mercure de France' originated as a French review, founded in the 17th century under the name 'Mercure Galant', which evolved to become, in the 20th century, a publishing house.
Under the impetus of Rémy de Gourmont and Alfred Jarry, a literary review revived 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 published both the greatest Parnassians (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Heredia, etc.) and witnessed the emergence of Jarry's Pataphysics.
The publishing house followed in its wake. It notably published the first works of Gide and Claudel, of Colette, of Apollinaire, of Georges Duhamel?
