Description
Excerpt from Life and Adventures of Alexander Dumas, Vol. 1 of 2
It might, perhaps, be thought that the duty of preparing a Memoir of Alexander Dumas should have been left to his own countrymen, and not have been attempted by one labouring under the disadvantage of being a foreigner. To this it may be answered, that for the mere dealing with the more interesting and piquant portions of his life, no national gifts or special citizenship required. In some respects Dumas was more an Eastern rather than a Frenchman; and, with a characteristic love of display, he seemed to strive that everything he did or wrote should attract the attention, not of his own countrymen merely, but of all Europe. For the same reason, too, the writer of his life might be tolerably independent of what is almost essential in other cases, viz., family correspondence, and the like.
