Alfred Louis Charles de Musset-Pathay (1810-1857) was a French
dramatist, poet, and novelist. He is known for his poetry and his
autobiographical La Confession d'un enfant du siecle (The
Confession of a Child of the Century) -- the tale of his celebrated
love affair with George Sand, who told her side of the tale in Elle
et lui.
Alfred de Musset, 1810-1857, was a French Romantic dramatist,
novelist, and poet. Musset was a prolific writer, and Aaron J.
Clarke takes a lovely selection of poetry to translate for his
readers. Translating the prose of Alfred de Musset is an audacious
task but Clarke is not shy to a literary challenge. Alfred de
Musset coalesces dulcet tones with elegant prose and Clarke
captures this tone and beauty in his translations. Clarke makes
significant effort to ensure each word, each line, is translated
with care. The page for page comparison allows for an accessible
comparison of the French to English translation. Through his
translations, Clarke offers his readers a chance to delve into the
enchanting works of Musset.

CROWNED BY THE FRENCH ACADEMY
Alfred Louis Charles de Musset was a French dramatist, poet, and
novelist. After attempts at careers in medicine, law, drawing,
English, and piano, he became one of the first Romantic writers. He
was the librarian of the French Ministry of the Interior under the
July Monarchy, but was dismissed from his post as librarian after
the revolution of 1848. He was appointed librarian of the Ministry
of Public Instruction during the Second Empire. Musset received the
Lgion d'Honneur on April 24, 1845, at the same time as Balzac, and
was elected to the Acadmie Franaise in 1852.
"The Confessions of a Child of the Century" is an
autobiographical novel detailing his two year love affair with the
writer George Sand. The relationship between two of the nineteenth
century's most headstrong Romanticists took place in the upper
realms of French society in the early 1830s. Set against a backdrop
of great artistic tumult and social upheaval, with Hugo, Delacroix,
Berlioz, Balzac, and Merimee all active, it became the celebrity
coupling of their day.
