Everything about Henry Houssaye totally explained
Henry Houssaye (
February 24,
1848 -
September 23,
1911), was a
French historian and academician.
He was born in
Paris, the son of the novelist
Arsène Houssaye. His early writings were devoted to classical antiquity, his knowledge drawn partly from visits to the actual Greek sites in 1868. He published successively
Histoire d’Apelles (1867), a study on
Greek art;
L'Armée dans la Grèce antique (1867);
Histoire d’Alcibiade et de la République athénienne, depuis la mort de Périclès jusqu’à l’avènement des trente tyrans (1873); Papers on
Le Nombre des citoyens d'Athenes au V'me siecle avant l’ère chrétienne (1882);
La Loi agraire a Sparte (1884);
Le premier siège de Paris, an 52 avant l’ère chrétienne (1876); and two volumes of miscellanies,
Athenes, Rome, Paris, l'histoire et les moeurs (1879), and
Aspasie, Cléopâtre, Théodora (6th ed. 1889).
The military history of
Napoleon I then attracted him. His first volume on this subject, called
1814 (1888), went through no fewer than forty-six editions. It was followed by 1815, the first part of which comprises the first Restoration, the return from
Elba and the
Hundred Days (1893); the second part,
Waterloo (1899); and the third part, the second abdication and the
White Terror (1905). He was elected a member of the
Académie française in 1895.
