Remy de Gourmont (April 4, 1858, Bazoches-au-Houlme, Orne – September 27, 1915, Paris) was a French Symbolist poet, novelist, and influential critic. He was widely read in his era, and an important influence on Blaise Cendrars. (The spelling Rémy de Gourmont is incorrect, albeit common and used by Ezra Pound in translations of his work.)
