Paul Bourget (1852-1935) was a French novelist, critic, and essayist who played a significant role in the French literary scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bourget was known for his psychological novels and his exploration of the themes of morality, religion, and identity. Bourget's work often focused on the conflicts between tradition and modernity, and his characters were often torn between their desire for progress and their longing for the past.
