William Chapman est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Saint-Fran\u00e7ois<\/strong> (maintenant Beauceville) le 13 d\u00e9cembre 1850<\/strong>. Son p\u00e8re, George William Chapman, mari\u00e9 Caroline Angers \u00e0 L\u00e9vis en 1843, est arriv\u00e9 en Beauce pendant la ru\u00e9e vers l\u2019or alors qu\u2019il \u00e9tait officier militaire. La maison dans laquelle William Chapman a grandi se situe au 277 avenue Lambert \u00e0 Beauceville<\/strong>.\u00a0 Une plaque comm\u00e9morative en son honneur y a d\u2019ailleurs \u00e9t\u00e9 install\u00e9e en 1941. Chapman demeurera \u00e0 cette adresse jusqu\u2019en 1862, avant de commencer son cours commercial au Coll\u00e8ge de L\u00e9vis. Pendant ses \u00e9tudes, il s\u2019int\u00e9resse \u00e0 la po\u00e9sie et on lui reproche d\u2019\u00eatre souvent perdu dans ses pens\u00e9es. On raconte, dans Le Monde illustr\u00e9<\/em> du 21 septembre 1889, qu\u2019apr\u00e8s avoir lu pour la premi\u00e8re fois une \u0153uvre de po\u00e9sie en fran\u00e7ais, Chapman se serait dit :<\/p>\n

Il s\u2019inscrit ensuite en droit \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Laval de Qu\u00e9bec o\u00f9 il participe \u00e0 son premier concours de po\u00e9sie en 1873. Les Qu\u00e9becquoises<\/strong>, <\/em>que Chapman publie en 1876, est l\u2019un des premiers recueils de po\u00e9sie canadiens-fran\u00e7ais. Il aurait peut-\u00eatre pu \u00eatre publi\u00e9 gr\u00e2ce aux revenus que Chapman aurait amass\u00e9s dans le domaine de la prospection d’or en Beauce.<\/p>\n

William Chapman travaille ensuite comme journaliste et traducteur dans les journaux La Patrie <\/em>et\u00a0La Minerve<\/em> dans lesquels il publie des po\u00e8mes sous divers pseudonymes. Il publie en 1890 son recueil Les Feuilles d\u2019\u00e9rable\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>que plusieurs consid\u00e8rent comme une \u0153uvre importante de la po\u00e9sie francophone de 19e\u00a0si\u00e8cle. Celui-ci permet d\u2019ailleurs au po\u00e8te de remporter la m\u00e9daille d\u2019honneur au concours de l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie des palmiers \u00e0 Paris en 1890.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 partir de 1893, Chapman se met \u00e0 publier des articles plut\u00f4t m\u00e9prisants sur un autre po\u00e8te connu, Louis Fr\u00e9chette, et l\u2019accuse de plagiat. Leur rivalit\u00e9 fera couler beaucoup d\u2019encre et nuira \u00e0 la popularit\u00e9 de Chapman. En 1897, Chapman se voit contraint de d\u00e9missionner de son poste dans la fonction publique apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9crit des articles n\u00e9gatifs sur les lib\u00e9raux. Il encha\u00eene ensuite plusieurs emplois comme agent d\u2019assurances, libraire, commis de secr\u00e9tariat avant d\u2019obtenir un poste de traducteur au S\u00e9nat. En 1904, il publie son recueil Les Aspirations; po\u00e9sies canadiennes<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em> pour lequel il est nomm\u00e9 Officier de l\u2019Instruction Publique et il obtient le prix Archon-Desp\u00e9rouses<\/strong> d\u00e9cern\u00e9 par l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie fran\u00e7aise. Il obtiendra \u00e0 nouveau ce prix en 1910 pour Les Rayons du Nord<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

En 1909, Chapman \u00e9pouse la veuve de Louis Coursolles, Emma Gingras, mais le couple se s\u00e9pare neuf mois plus tard. Le po\u00e8te est obs\u00e9d\u00e9 par son besoin de reconnaissance \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque et travaille ardemment pour obtenir un prix Nobel et devenir chevalier de la L\u00e9gion d\u2019honneur. Son dernier recueil, Les Fleurs de givre<\/em><\/strong>, est publi\u00e9 en 1912 et lui vaut deux m\u00e9dailles et trois dipl\u00f4mes d\u2019honneur \u00e0 l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie des jeux floraux en France. Le comit\u00e9 du Nobel refuse toutefois de consid\u00e9rer Chapman pour un prix. Le po\u00e8te esp\u00e8re ensuite que son \u00c9pop\u00e9e canadienne <\/em><\/strong>lui permettra d\u2019obtenir cette prestigieuse r\u00e9compense, mais la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale l\u2019emp\u00eachera de compl\u00e9ter cette \u0153uvre.<\/p>\n

William Chapman aura lutt\u00e9 plusieurs ann\u00e9es contre l\u2019alcoolisme et termine malheureusement sa vie dans la maladie et l\u2019isolement. Il d\u00e9c\u00e8de le 23 f\u00e9vrier 1917,<\/strong> laissant en h\u00e9ritage plusieurs po\u00e8mes remarquable dont L\u2019Aurore bor\u00e9ale, Notre langue, La For\u00eat, \u00c0 la Bretagne, Il neige, Le laboubeur <\/em>et La Beauce.\u00a0<\/em>Le 3 juin 2010, une salle de r\u00e9union de la MRC \u00e0 Beauceville est inaugur\u00e9e \u00e0 son nom.<\/p>\n
