About the author

Jeanne Schultz was a French author active around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Library records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France list her as having died in 1910, though her birth year appears uncertain in those records. She is associated with a substantial body of work, including novels and other writings published in French.

Contemporary commentary preserved on Wikisource describes her as a striking new literary voice who managed to place La neuvaine de Colette in the Revue des Deux Mondes, an impressive achievement for a young writer. That same source presents her as an author who continued to publish with energy and range.

Works linked to her in library and digitized book records include La famille Hamelin and Tout droit, both illustrated editions published by Hachette, suggesting that she was also well known in literature for younger audiences. I couldn’t confirm a reliable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
