Anatole Baju

Anatole Bajut known as Baju is a journalist and French writer born with Confolens (Charente) in 1861 and deceased in 1903.

Anatole Baju is known like founder, in April 1886, of the review the Declining arts person and artistic , which lasted with some misadventures until in 1889.

Declining the was the first of the many reviews which created for themselves in the wake of the publication of In Rebours of Huysmans in 1884 and of the Manifeste of Jean Moréas, appeared in Le Figaro on September 18th, 1886. Baju was one of the first to assert like a standard the term “declining”. Writing in its review under the pseudonym of Louis Villatte, Baju wanted to be the federator of a declining “school” (title of one of its works) which never shaped truly, because the symbolism, launched by Moréas, rejoined the majority of the votes then.

Before very opportunist, Baju followed then the general slope towards social Art, proclaiming, in its test literary Anarchy , published in 1892: “the literature of tomorrow will be neither naturalist, neither psychological, neither Symbolist, nor Romance: it will be social”.

A few years later, that which wrote: “We will abstain from policy like thing ideally infects and abjectly méprisable” published, with a foreword of Jules Guesde, an opuscule entitled Principes of socialism .

Anatole Baju is the dedicatee of Paysages of Verlaine.
