Coward or Hero?
by Eugène (Dramatist) Leclerc
About the author
Very little confirmed biographical information about this author appears to survive in major reference sources. The Bibliothèque nationale de France lists Eugène Leclerc as a French-language author, while Victorian fiction and Project Gutenberg records identify him as the writer of Coward or Hero?, published in London in 1884 in English translation.
The surviving catalog trail suggests a writer active in the late 19th century rather than a widely documented literary celebrity. Project Gutenberg describes Coward or Hero? as a late-19th-century fiction work centered on courage, childhood fear, and family expectations, and the Victorian fiction database records it among novels published between 1837 and 1901.
Some music and library databases also connect an Eugène Leclerc with songs and theatrical or lyrical works, but the available sources do not make every detail fully clear. Because the record is so thin, he is best approached as an obscure French author whose known legacy now rests mainly on Coward or Hero?.
