Home > Alfred de Musset

De Musset was an important figure in the Romantic literary movement. He trained in both law and medicine, but his success was in literature.

The tale of his celebrated love affair with George Sand, which lasted from 1833 to 1835, is told from his point of view in his autobiographical novel, and from her point of view in her Elle et lui.

On his passing, Alfred de Musset was interred in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
