Ferdinand Bruneti%C3%A8re

Ferdinand Brunetire was a French writer and critic.

Brunetire was born in Toulon, Var, Provence. After school at Marseille, he studied in Paris at the Lyce LouisleGrand. Desiring a teaching career, he entered for examination at the cole Normale Suprieure, but failed, and the outbreak of war in 1870 prevented him trying again. He turned to private tuition and literary criticism. After the publication of successful articles in the Revue Bleue, he became connected with the Revue des Deux Mondes, first as contributor, then as secretary and subeditor, and finally, in 1893, as principal editor.
