Autorenporträt
G. Lenotre, a pseudonym for Louis Léon Théodore Gosselin (1855-1935), was a distinguished French historian and author renowned for his work on the events and figures of the French Revolution. His choice of a pen name, borrowed from the architect André Le Nôtre, hints at his meticulous crafting of historical narratives, much like the precision seen in Le Nôtre's famous gardens. A member of the Académie Française, Lenotre's research was grounded in original documents and personal accounts, from which he wove engaging, narrative-driven works that brought the past to life with vivid detail and a novelist's flair. 'The House of the Combrays' is one such work where Lenotre demonstrates his characteristic blend of exacting historical research with storytelling that captivates both scholars and general readers alike. His literary style often melded the rigor of academia with the accessibility of popular history, making him an influential figure in the historiography of his time. Lenotre's contributions to the field include not just rich accounts of the Revolution's major happenings, but also nuanced explorations of its lesser-known aspects and the daily lives of its protagonists.
