Fernand Jousselin

Fernand Jousselin was a French author active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Bibliothèque nationale de France identifies him only approximately as "187.-19..," so his exact birth and death dates are not clearly confirmed from the sources I found.

He is associated above all with historical writing. His known works include La femme du Grand Condé, Claire-Clémence de Maillé-Brézé, princesse de Condé and, with Octave Homberg, D'Eon de Beaumont, his life and times and Un aventurier au XVIIIe siècle: Le chevalier d'Éon (1728-1810). These titles suggest a strong interest in 17th- and 18th-century France, especially vivid personalities whose lives mixed politics, society, and scandal.

Although he does not seem to be widely documented today, his books have remained accessible through major library and public-domain collections, which has helped preserve his work for modern readers. For listeners who enjoy compact historical portraits and lesser-known corners of French history, his writing still offers plenty of intrigue.
