About the author

Born in 1903 and deceased in 1999, Paule Henry-Bordeaux was a French author best known for historical and biographical writing. Reliable catalog records available here confirm works including Marie Stuart and Lady Stanhope en Orient, which suggest a lasting interest in vivid lives from history.

She was the daughter of the French writer Henry Bordeaux, a well-known novelist and member of the Académie française. That literary family background helps place her work in a tradition of French Catholic and historical letters, even if detailed biographical information about her own life is not easy to find in major online sources.

Because online information about her is limited, the safest picture is a simple one: a twentieth-century French woman of letters who published readable historical biographies and remains known today mainly through library and catalog records of her books.
