About the author
Born in Frascati on June 19, 1858, and later dying in Avignon on May 1, 1947, Alfred-Émile de Bruneau de Saint-Auban was a French lawyer and journalist. He trained in law, and his published work includes legal and social writing such as L'histoire sociale au palais de justice: plaidoyers philosophiques.
Alongside his legal career, he contributed to newspapers and reviews, writing about public affairs as well as music and drama. He was especially active in conservative and Catholic-leaning circles, which shaped much of his journalism.
Saint-Auban is also remembered for his place in the political controversies of his era. Sources describe him as a nationalist polemicist associated with the anti-Dreyfus movement, making him a figure tied to some of the most divisive debates in modern French public life.
