About Émile Nelligan
Émile Nelligan (December 24, 1879 – November 18, 1941) was a French Canadian Symbolist poet influenced by Romanticism. Although he almost entirely ceased writing poetry after being institutionalized at the age of nineteen, Nelligan remains an iconic figure in Quebecois culture and was considered by Edmund Wilson to be the greatest Canadian poet in any language.
