Roger Martin du Gard

Roger Martin du Gard was born in 1881 in Neuilly-sur-Seine. After studying at Parisian lycées, he graduated from the École des chartes in 1906 with the diploma of archiviste paléographe, a training to which he linked his concern for accuracy and detail. Close to the circle of the Nouvelle Revue française, he was a friend of André Gide, about whom he left recollections. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1937 and died on 22 August 1958.
