Edmond François Valentin About
Edit ProfileEducation
A brilliant and lively student, About was a fellow at the French school in Greece from 1851 to 1853.
Career
Failing as a playwright, he remained primarily a publicist, though his fame rests on his sprightly, almost wholly farcical novels, where wit, clarity, and the art of saying everything well reveal him as one of the wittiest of all French writers. Reliance on facile banter has, however, kept him from a place with the greatest French authors. Napoleon III decorated him for his sympathy for the Second Empire (1851 - 1870). After the Franco-Prussian War, About turned ardent republican and exerted great influence with his paper, the XIX Siècle. But to the end he remained anticlerical, attacking with satire and ridicule the alliance of old royalists and Catholics. He died in Paris on January 16, 1885.
