About the author
Born in Paris in 1846, Edmond Lepelletier was a French journalist, novelist, historian, and politician whose career stretched across several parts of public life. He wrote extensively for the press and published many popular novels, building a reputation as a hardworking and versatile man of letters.
He is especially noted today for his long friendship with Paul Verlaine. That connection gave him a close view of the literary circles around Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, and he later wrote biographical and memoir-style works that helped preserve memories of that world.
Lepelletier was also active in politics, serving as a deputy in France. He died in Vittel in 1913, leaving behind a body of work that reflects both the literary culture and the public debates of his era.
