Madame Henri de La Ville de Mirmont‏

1860–1933

A French writer remembered for graceful, thoughtful work and a long association with the literary world of Bordeaux, she published under the name Madame Henri de La Ville de Mirmont. Her books reached enough readers to be preserved by Project Gutenberg, and she remains a small but intriguing figure in early 20th-century French letters.

About the author

Madame Henri de La Ville de Mirmont was a French author who lived from 1860 to 1933. She is chiefly remembered today through older French literary and library records, and her work is still accessible through public-domain collections.

She wrote under her married name, a style common in her time, which can make her a little hard to trace in modern catalogs. A French-language reference page links her to the literary culture of Bordeaux and the wider tradition of regional French writing.

Reliable online information about her life appears to be quite limited, so many personal details are not easy to confirm. What can be said with confidence is that she published enough work to remain cataloged and read long after her lifetime, which gives her a modest but lasting place in French literary history.
