About the author
Born in Paris on August 15, 1822, Charles Alfred de Janzé was a French baron who combined public life with writing. French biographical sources identify him as a politician as well as an author, and library records connect him with works published under the name Baron de Janzé.
His writing ranged across practical and historical subjects. Surviving records link him to books on finance and rail accidents, while Les Huguenots: Cent ans de persécution, 1685-1789 shows his interest in the long history of Protestant persecution in France and in the moral questions raised by intolerance.
He died in Paris on April 26, 1892. Although he is less widely known today than some literary figures of his century, his work offers a revealing window into the political concerns and historical memory of 19th-century France.
