Abstract

Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo’s Poetic Art Born in Antananarivo in 1903, Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo was an illegitimate child who, through self-study and rigorous discipline, acquired the French language with which he received his formal education. He was highly associated with several literary circles and translated widely in both French and his native Malagasy oral corpus.
