The French poet, statesman, and historian Alphonse-Marie-Louis de Prat de Lamartine is considered to be the first French writer to produce Romantic poetry, a style of poetry that focused on tapping into personal emotions in order to find artistic inspiration. He is also remembered as one of the first French writers to tie together his artistic writing with his political life.
