Il est un poète, dramaturge et critique dramatique français.
Célèbre pour les Odes funambulesques et les Exilés, il est surnommé « le poète du bonheur »1.
Ami de Victor Hugo, de Charles Baudelaire et de Théophile Gautier, il est considéré dès son vivant comme l’un des plus éminents poètes de son époque. Il a notamment découvert le talent naissant d’Arthur Rimbaud.
Théodore de Banville unit dans son œuvre le romantisme et le parnasse, dont il fut l’un des précurseurs. Il professait un amour exclusif de la beauté et la limpidité universelle de l’acte poétique, s’opposant à la fois à la poésie réaliste et à la dégénérescence du romantisme2, contre lesquels il affirmait sa foi en la pureté de la création artistique.
