Charles Péguy
French poet, essayist, and editor (1873–1914) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Pierre Péguy (French: [ʃaʁl peɡi]; 7 January 1873 – 5 September 1914) was a French poet, essayist, and editor. His two main philosophies were socialism and nationalism; by 1908 at the latest, after years of uneasy agnosticism, he had become a believing (but generally non-practicing) Roman Catholic.[1][2][3] From that time, Catholicism strongly influenced his works.
