Victor Hugo in his Shakespeare, when he calls the lists of poets, mentions prose writers like Diderot, Rousseau, Balzac, chateaubriand, George Sand, Le Sage and Cervantes.
"The Literature of Ecstasy"
Albert Mordell
Last night, just before I went to bed, I was reading chateaubriand, and I came across a passage that kept me awake for hours."
"The Way of Ambition"
Robert Hichens
Sometimes broke, sometimes flush, sometimes acclaimed as a genius, sometimes chased as a political criminal, sometimes in palaces, sometimes in jail-chateaubriand at length met Jeanne Recamier.
"Superwomen"
Albert Payson Terhune
