Summary/Abstract: The world of hunters is a good example of poetry produced by amateurs. The article shows the evolution of mentalities chronologically. The poem on hunting is the first of all related to the values of the nobility. When the bourgeoisie seizes it, it makes it evolve in an ironic and gastronomic way. This provokes reactions and debates, especially in the middle of the 19th century when several visions of hunting are in conflict.
