Charles Moravia (17 June 1875 – 11 February 1938)[1] was a Haitian poet, dramatist, teacher, and diplomat.

Biography

[edit]

Born in Jacmel, Moravia studied at the Petit Séminaire Collège Saint-Martial in Port-au-Prince.[1] He became a teacher in Jacmel and founded two periodicals, the short-lived La Plume, published from 1914 to 1915, and Le Temps, started in 1922 as a daily paper and later a magazine.[1] He was an elected officer of the Haitian Academy of Arts and Sciences.[1] An admirer of Heinrich Heine, Moravia translated the verse of the German poet, working from the prose translation of Gérard de Nerval.[1] Moravia was also influenced by Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac.

He also had a career in public service and was appointed Minister PlenipotentiarytoWashington, D.C., in 1919, during the United States' occupation of Haiti. He also served as a Senator of the Republic during the presidency of Sténio Vincent.

Moravia was jailed by the Vincent government for his articles opposed to the American occupation.
