André Tridon

1877–1922

A restless early 20th-century writer, critic, and translator, he helped introduce psychoanalytic ideas to English-language readers while also writing about politics, society, and sex. His work moved easily between radical thought and popular explanation, giving it an unusually wide range for its time.

About the author

Born in 1877 and dying in New York in 1922, André Tridon is remembered as a French-born writer whose work crossed several fields. Library and author records describe him as a playwright, psychoanalyst, and translator, and surviving catalogs show that he published on subjects ranging from labor politics to dreams and psychoanalysis.

His books include The New Unionism and Psychoanalysis: Its History, Theory, and Practice, along with other works on sleep, dreams, and sexuality. That mix suggests a writer interested not just in literature, but in the big arguments of his era: how people think, how societies are organized, and how private life connects to public ideas.
