FEYDEAU

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 306 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FEYDEAU , ERNEST-AIMS (18211873),
French
  author, was born in Paris, on the 16th of
March
  1821. He began his literary career in 1844, by the publication of a volume of poetry, Les Nationales. Either the partial failure of this literary effort, or his
marriage
  soon afterwards to a daughter of the economist Blanqui, caused him to devote himself to finance and to archaeology. He gained a
great
  success with his novel Fanny (1858), a success due chiefly to the cleverness with which it depicted and excused the corrupt manners of a certain portion of French society. This was followed in rapid succession by a
series
  of fictions, similar in
character
 , but wanting the attraction of novelty; none of them enjoyed the same vogue as Fanny. Besides his novels Feydeau wrote several plays, and he is also the author of Histoire generale des usages funebres et des sepultures des peoples anciens (3 vols., 18571861); Le
Secret
  du bonheur. (sketches of Algerian
life
 ) (2 vols., 1864); and L'Allemagne en 1871 (1872), a clever caricature of
German
 
life
  and manners. He died in Paris on the 27th of October 1873.
See Sainte-Beuve, Causeries du lundi, vol. xiv., and Barbey d'Aurevilly, Les Euvres et les hommes au XIX' siecle.
