Amédée Prouvost (born September 4, 1877, in Roubaix – May 8, 1909, Roubaix.) is a French[1][better source needed] industrialist and poet, born in Roubaix on September 4, 1877, and died on May 8, 1909, in Roubaix.[2]
Biography
Amédée III Prouvost is the son of industrialist Amédée II Prouvost (1853–1927) and the grandson of Amédée I Prouvost (1820–1885), co-founder of Peignage Amédée Prouvost. He married Céline Lorthiois, daughter of businessman Floris Lorthiois and Céline Motte, and sister of Pierre Lorthiois. After being widowed, she remarried Louis Toulemonde.
After studying literature for a year at the University of Bonn in Germany, he traveled the world, visiting Italy, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, and Greece. Upon returning to Roubaix, he rejoins the family industry. He dedicates himself to literature, publishing several poetry collections, which earned him the Archon-Despérouses Prize (from the French Academy) in 1906 and recognition from the Society of Sciences, Agriculture, and Arts of Lille.[3]
He notably contributes to Le Beffroi, Le Correspondant, La Renaissance latine, La Revue septentrionale, Durendal, La Revue de Lille, and Le Journal de Roubaix. In early 1909, he contracts pulmonary tuberculosis and dies on May 8, 1909.[4] A monument in honor of Amédée Prouvost has been erected in Barbieux Park in Roubaix.
