The book Alfred De Musset by James Henry is a biographical work that explores the life and works of the French poet and playwright, Alfred De Musset. The book provides a comprehensive overview of De Musset's life, from his childhood to his rise to fame as a prominent literary figure in the 19th century. It delves into his personal relationships, including his tumultuous love affair with the writer George Sand, and the impact of his experiences on his writing. The book also analyzes De Musset's literary contributions, including his poetry, plays, and novels, and their place in the French literary canon. James Henry's writing style is engaging and informative, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in French literature, poetry, or the life of Alfred De Musset.The author describes the poet's early years, and gives several very pretty anecdotes of his childhood. Alfred de Musset was born in 1810, in the middle of old Paris, on a spot familiar to those many American visitors who wander across the Seine, better and better pleased as they go, to the museum of the H�����tel de Cluny. The house in which Musset's parents lived was close to this beautiful monument---a happy birthplace for a poet; but both the house and the street have now disappeared. M. Paul de Musset does not relate that his brother began to versify in his infancy; but Alfred was indeed hardly more than an infant when he achieved his first success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
