Georges Maurice of Guerin , born with Andillac the August 4th 1810 and dead the July 19th 1839, is a French poet and writer.

Contemporary of Lamartine and Victor Hugo, Maurice of Guerin is the author of the Centaure , the Bacchante and many poems which are in the literary history at the hinge of the religious romanticism of Chateaubriand and of the “poetic modernity” of Baudelaire and Mallarmé. Its newspaper the Green Book and its correspondence with Barbey d' Aurevilly in particular, translate its interrogations on its destiny of man and writer.

Strong excessively pious woman, her sister Eugenie (1805-1848) wrote for her brother a Journal which constitutes with its correspondence a document to know mentality and the life tarnaises at the 19th century.
