Pierre Gilbert Crabos

Pierre Gilbert Crabos , known as Pierre Gilbert , born in 1883 and dead the September 8th 1914, is a writer, Critique arts person, Journaliste and militant Royaliste French.

Young disciple of Charles Maurras, it is, under the name of feather of Pierre Gilbert, one of the principal organizers of the critical Revue of the ideas and the books at the sides of Jean Rivain, Eugene Marsan, Henri Clouard and Jean-Marc Bernard. He also holds the theatrical chronicle of the royalist daily newspaper the French Action and gives articles of literary criticism to it.

He takes part in the attempts at bringing together between revolutionary Syndicalistes and néo-royalists, under the aegis of the Cercle Proudhon.

Pierre Gilbert puts all his energy at the service of the neo-classic school, of which it is, with Henri Clouard, one of the keen promoters. Its polemics with the group of the NRF, which has been just constituted, its loads against the romanticism and the “bovarysme”, its campaigns against the theater in vogue quickly do of them one of the dreaded chiefs of the young school Maurrassien.

Admiror of Stendhal, Gilbert writes that to love the author of Charteuse of Parma , one needs a certain moral hardening and “to hold its life as a ship holds the flood”. This maxim, extended to the policy and art, could have been used to him as currency.

It falls, with the head of its section, on September 8th, 1914, in the engagements for the defense of Vitry-le-François. Its destiny, will say Maurras, figure “in the glory of our mourning, pure youth”.
