About the author
Born on May 23, 1892, in Nouméa, New Caledonia, Maurice Camille Baudin became an author and professor whose career centered on French literature. Records in the Jane Addams Digital Edition identify him as a male author and professor, and library catalogs connect his name with teaching editions and studies of French drama.
Baudin edited and co-edited books designed for students, including French texts such as La Princesse de Clèves, Antony, and Essays for Study. He also wrote critical work on theater and literary history, including The Profession of King in Seventeenth-Century French Drama, showing a strong interest in how literature reflects power, performance, and society.
Alongside his academic writing, Baudin also published fiction. Project Gutenberg lists works by him, including the short story Hystereo, which helped preserve a different side of his writing for modern readers. He died in January 1986.
