About the author
Born in Saint-Lô in 1821, Octave Feuillet became one of the best-known French novelists and dramatists of his time. He studied in Paris, turned to literature after beginning law, and built a career that moved comfortably between the stage and the novel.
His fiction is often noted for its polished prose, careful social observation, and close attention to feeling and motive. Readers of his day especially valued his portraits of inner life, and works such as Le Roman d’un jeune homme pauvre helped make him widely popular.
Feuillet was elected to the Académie française in 1862, a sign of the esteem he enjoyed in French literary life. He died in Paris in 1890, but his work still offers a vivid window into the tastes, manners, and emotional tensions of 19th-century France.
