André Beaunier

Born in Évreux in 1869 and later active in Paris, André Beaunier was a French novelist and literary critic. Reliable reference sources identify him above all as a man of letters who worked in criticism as well as fiction, and his career linked him closely with the literary world of his time.

Beaunier is especially remembered for his criticism and essays, though he also published novels and other prose works. Records from major French institutions connect him with a substantial body of writing and show that his reputation rested on both literary judgment and a broad engagement with contemporary culture.

He died in Paris in 1925. For modern readers, he stands as one of those writers whose books offer more than stories alone: they also capture the tone, tastes, and debates of French literary life in his era.
