Gautier, Théophile
French Romantic poet. His later works emphasized the perfection of form and the polished beauty of language and imagery, for example Emaux et camées/Enamels and Cameos (1852). He was also a novelist (Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835)) and later turned to journalism. His belief in the supreme importance of form in art, at the cost both of sentiment and ideas, inspired the poets who were later known as Les Parnassiens.
