18th-century French Male Writers
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.

Armand Gouffé

Afflicted with a delicate health and inclined to sadness, he was nevertheless one of the most joyful poets of his time, singing the wine he could not drink and brightening his refrains with names of desserts which his stomach almost forbade him to touch. The ease of his verse had him nicknamed "the Panard of the XIXth ". Gouffé was one of the first members of the dîners du Vaudeville. In 1806, with Pierre Capelle, he revived the defunct '' Caveau'', by creating the '' Caveau moderne''. This new goguette would exist until 1817. He was a predecessor of Désaugiers and Béranger.

Calligram
A calligram is text arranged in such a way that it forms a thematically related image. It can be a poem, a phrase, a portion of scripture, or a single word; the visual arrangement can rely on certain use of the typeface, calligraphy or handwriting, for instance along non-parallel and curved text lines, or in shaped paragraphs. The image created by the words illustrates the text by expressing visually what it says, or something closely associated; it can also, on purpose, show something contradictory with the text or otherwise be misleading, or can contribute additional thoughts and meanings to the text. Writers Guillaume Apollinaire was a famous calligram writer and author of a book of poems called '' Calligrammes''. José Juan Tablada wrote a book of Spanish-language calligrams entitled Li-Po y otros poemas''.''
