HUGUES, CLOVIS (1851-1907) ,
French
  poet and socialist, was
born
  at Menerbes in Vaucluse on the 3rd of November 1851. He studied for the priesthood, but did not take orders. For some revolutionary articles in the local papers of
Marseilles
  he was condemned in 1871 to three years' imprisonment and a fine of 6000 francs. In 1877 he fought a
duel
  in which he killed his adversary, a rival journalist. Elected
deputy
  by
Marseilles
  in the general elections of 1881, he was at that time the
sole
  representative of the Socialist party in the chambers. He was re-elected in 1885, and in 1893 became one of the deputies for Paris, retaining his seat until 1906. He died on the 11th of June 1907.
His poems, novels and comedies are full of wit and exuberant vitality.
His
principal
  works are: Poemes de prison (1875), written during his detention, Soirs de bataille (1883); Jours de combat (1883); And Le Travail (1889) ; the novels, Madame Phaeton (1885) and Monsieur le gendarme (1891); and the dramas, Uwe etoile (1888) and Le sommeil de
Danton
  (1888).
