About the author
Born in 1892, Maurice Baudin appears in library and catalog records as an American author and editor whose career touched several corners of the literary world. He is credited with scholarly and teaching-oriented books including The Profession of King in Seventeenth-Century French Drama, Essays for Study, and editions such as Antony and Contemporary Short Stories: Representative Selections.
Baudin also wrote fiction. Project Gutenberg lists his science-fiction story Hystereo, first published in the early 1960s, showing a very different side of his writing from his academic work.
Film and television databases additionally credit him as a writer for series including Alfred Hitchcock Presents and General Electric Theater. While detailed biographical information is scarce, the record that emerges is of a wide-ranging writer whose work crossed scholarship, editing, and popular storytelling.
