Early life

Joseph Desanat was born in 1796 in Tarascon.[1][2]

Career

Desanat was first a courtier.[1] He then moved to Marseille, where he made charcuterie.[1][2]

In 1841, Desanat founded Lou Bouil-Abaïsso, a literary journal of Provençal poetry published in Marseille.[3][4] The journal ran from 1841 to 1842, and from 1844 to 1846.[1] Desanat encouraged his friend Jean-Baptiste Gaut to submit poems, leading to a career as a poet and an advocacy of the Félibrige movement.[5]

A prolific Provençal poet himself, Desanat's use of the language is remarkable as it predates Frédéric Mistral's spelling rules.[1]

Death

He died in 1873.[2]

Legacy

The Boulevard Joseph Desanat in Tarascon was named in his honour.[1]
