About the author
Born in Paris on November 9, 1764, François de Pange—also known as the chevalier de Pange—was a French man of letters and liberal journalist during the Revolution. He came from the Thomas de Pange family and became known for writing that favored constitutional monarchy rather than extremism.
His name is closely linked with the political debates of the revolutionary years, and records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France list works published between 1789 and 1796. That places him among the writers who tried to shape public opinion while France was rapidly changing.
De Pange died at Passy-sur-Yonne on July 15, 1796, at just 31 years old. Even with such a brief life, he remains an interesting figure for readers drawn to the human, literary side of the French Revolution.
