The 'Mercure de France' was originally a French periodical, 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 resumed 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 published both the greatest Parnassians (Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Heredia, etc.) and witnessed 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?
