About the author
Born in Rambouillet and active in Paris, Edmond Texier was a French journalist, poet, and novelist who spent much of the 19th century writing across several genres. Major library and reference sources identify him as Edmond Auguste Texier and place his life in the years 1815–1887, even though some catalog records list 1816 as his birth year.
Texier is best known today for works such as Tableau de Paris, which helped capture the look and feel of Parisian life in his era. His career ranged from poetry to prose journalism, and modern catalogs like the Bibliothèque nationale de France and Project Gutenberg show how widely his writing circulated and how much of it has remained accessible.
For listeners drawn to classic French literature, Texier offers a window onto 19th-century urban culture: observant, energetic, and closely tuned to the social world around him.
