Louis Dantin

Louis Dantin was the pen name of Eugène Seers (November 28, 1865 – January 17, 1945), a Canadian writer and editor from Quebec. He is historically most noted as the original editor and publisher of the poetry of Émile Nelligan, although he also published numerous works as a poet, novelist and essayist in his own right. Dantin denied Grignon's claims in several of his letters to other writers. In 2016, the University of Ottawa's literary journal, @nalyses, published an article by Annette Hayward and Christian Vandendorpe that rejected the claim based on textual comparisons of the poetry that is credited to Nelligan with Dantin's writings. In 2021, Pierre Hébert arrived at the same conclusion in his Une biochronique on Dantin.
