About the author
Born in Rambouillet in 1815 and later active in Paris, Edmond Texier built a varied career as a journalist, poet, and novelist. Library and reference records consistently describe him as a French writer whose work crossed several genres, and his long publishing life places him firmly in the heart of 19th-century literary culture.
Texier is especially remembered for writing about society and urban life, including works connected with Paris and with the world of journalists and writers. That mix of reporting, literary ambition, and social observation gives his books a vivid, wide-angle feel.
He died in Paris in 1887. Some catalogs list his birth year as 1816, while major French library and biographical sources give 1815, so the record is not fully consistent; the date most often confirmed in those sources is February 16, 1815.
