Alfred de Musset

Died in 1857

Alfred de Musset was born in Paris on 11 December 1810. While still very young, he frequented the Romantic circle, and a first collection of verse, published in 1829, brought him immediate success. One of his plays met with a resounding failure in 1830. His liaison with George Sand, from 1833 to 1835, was marked by a stormy stay in Italy. Elected to the Académie française in 1852, when the public had turned away from him, he died in Paris on 2 May 1857.
