About the author

Alfred Schalck de la Faverie was a French writer and historian born in 1857 and died in 1921. Records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France identify him under the fuller name Alfred Schalck de La Faverie, and public-domain editions of his work also use the form "A. (Alfred) Schalck de la Faverie."

He is best known for historical works such as Napoléon et l'Amérique, which examines French-American relations and Napoleon's influence on the wider Atlantic world. Other references connect him with writing on Norman history as well, suggesting a taste for subjects where regional identity meets international politics.

The surviving catalog and archive records available online are fairly concise, so many personal details about his life remain hard to confirm. What does come through clearly is the range of his historical interests and his habit of treating French history as part of a bigger global story.
