About the author
Born in Châtel-Censoir in 1801 and deceased in Paris in 1859, Éléonore Tenaille de Vaulabelle was a French writer and playwright. For his novels, he used the pen name Ernest Desprez, while his plays appeared under the name Jules Cordier.
His work belongs to the rich world of 19th-century French popular literature. Today, readers can still find novels such as Un enfant and Les Grisettes à Paris, which helped preserve the Ernest Desprez name even though his legal name is less widely recognized.
He remains an interesting figure for readers who enjoy rediscovering lesser-known French authors whose books capture the mood, manners, and social concerns of their time.
