Vincent Voiture was born on February 24, 1597 in Amiens, France. He was the son of a rich wine merchant of Amiens.
Voiture completed his education in Paris and early made the acquaintance of the aged poet François de Malherbe and of Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac, whose zeal for reforming the French language he shared.
Having attached himself to Gaston de France, duc d’Orléans, he followed him into exile in 1632 and was sent to Spain to negotiate on Orléans’ behalf. On his return to France in 1634, Voiture was elected to the French Academy.
Voiture excelled at writing occasional pieces of light verse, and his Lettres (published 1649) are full of witty and subtle allusions that were enjoyed by his narrow circle. His skillful use of stylistic conceits also appealed to the members of the Rambouillet salon. He was one of the two central figures in the “sonnets controversy, ” which briefly divided the Parisian literary world between the admirers of Isaac de Benserade’s poem “Sonnet sur Job” and the admirers of Voiture’s sonnet “L’Amour d’Uranie avec Philis. ” Voiture’s admirers eventually won the argument, but the acrimony that developed, together with the outbreak of the civil wars of the Fronde (1648–53), put an end to the Rambouillet society.
Voiture's death, on 26 May 1648, at the outbreak of the Fronde, marked the beginning of the end of the society to which he was accustomed.
