Félix Thyes

Died in 1855

Félix Thyes was born on 19 January 1830 in Luxembourg, into a family of Belgian origin, and kept his mother's Grand Ducal nationality. A law student at the Université libre de Bruxelles, he published in 1854 an Essai sur la poésie luxembourgeoise, which made him the first historian of his country's letters, and wrote exclusively in French, at the time when literature in Luxembourgish was being born. He died in Brussels on 8 May 1855, at twenty-five.
