Les Jeunes-France was a name given c.1830 to a group of Romantic writers and artists, including Nerval, Borel, and Gautier, whose extreme views or unusual behaviour shocked public opinion, e.g. in the battle of Hernani. In 1831, the newspaper Le Figaro featured a number of works by the young generation of Romantic artists and published them in the Jeunes-France.
Les Jeunes-France: romans goguenards[1] (“The Jeunes-France: Tales Told with Tongue in Cheek), is also the title of a collection of stories by Théophile Gautier published in 1833. It was a satire of Romanticism.
