Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly
-
Barbey (1808–89), novelist, commentator, conversationalist and, as an admirer of Byron and Brummell, inveterate dandy, was still able to scandalize at 66, when he published Les Diaboliques . Born in St-Saveur-le-Vicomte, he was raised on a diet of Norman tales told by a family servant.
