Léon Deschamps (1864 – 28 December 1899) was a French novelist and poet, most notable as the founder of the La Plume literary review.
Career
Deschamps was from Poitou and trained as a cook. He quit this career to become a commercial agent for Gazette du Palais in Paris.[1]
He founded La Plume on 15 April 1889. His close friends, George Bonnamour and Paul Redonnel, were also involved in the management and editorship of the review.[1] The review had a conservative-leaning, although Deschamps himself had reactionary sympathies.[2]
He led the review until his sudden death at age 36 in 1899.[1]
