About the author
Born in 1860, Paul Margueritte was a French writer whose work ranged from novels and short fiction to memoir and literary criticism. He was the brother of Victor Margueritte, and the two sometimes wrote together, but Paul also built a substantial career of his own.
He came from a family marked by public life and military history: his father, General Jean Auguste Margueritte, was mortally wounded in the Battle of Sedan during the Franco-Prussian War. That background helped shape the historical and social awareness that runs through parts of his writing.
Remembered as a prolific figure in French letters, he published steadily from the late 19th century into the early 1900s and died in 1918. His work belongs to the lively literary world of that period, when novels, journalism, and cultural debate were closely connected.
