Longtemps considéré comme un écrivain "populaire", Jehan Rictus, anarchiste et poète de la misère moderne, n'en reste pas moins l'une des plumes les plus remarquables de la fin du XIXe siècle, et la qualité de son œuvre n'a rien à envier à celles de ses illustres contemporains : Rimbaud, Verlaine, Corbière, ou Cros.
