About the author
Born Pauline Cassin in Caen in 1828, Pauline Caro became known as a French Catholic novelist. She published under her own name and also used the pseudonym P. Albane, a detail that helps explain why some of her books first appeared anonymously or under different forms of attribution.
She was married to the philosopher Elme-Marie Caro, and her writing career unfolded in the literary world of 19th-century France. Bibliographic records and reference sources connect her with novels including Le Péché de Madeleine and Histoire de Souci, and they place her death in Paris in 1901.
Though she is not widely read today, her work reflects a strand of French fiction concerned with faith, morality, and private emotional life. For listeners interested in overlooked women writers of the period, she offers a glimpse into a quieter but distinctive corner of French literary history.
