Juliette Adam

Juliette Adam

Juliette Adam (October 4, 1836 – August 23, 1936), French writer, known also by her maiden name of Juliette Lambert, was born at Verberie, (Oise).

She has given an account of her childhood, rendered unhappy by the dissensions of her parents, in "Le roman de mon enfance et de ma jeunesse" (Eng. trans., London and New York, 1902). Her father, wrote "Paradodex d'un docteur allemand" (published 1860) which shows him to have been sympathetic to feminism.

In 1852 she married a doctor named La Messine, and published in 1858 her "Idees antiproudhoniennes sur l'amour, la femme et le marriage", in defense of Daniel Stern (Marie d'Agoult) and George Sand.

On her first husband's death she married in 1868 Antoine Edmond Adam (1816--1877), prefect of police in 1870, and subsequently life-senator; and she established a salon which was frequented by Gambetta and the other republican leaders against the conservative reaction of the 'seventies. In the same interest she founded in 1879 the "Nouvelle Revue", which she edited for the first eight years, and in the administration of which she retained a preponderating influence until 1899. She published Paul Bourget, Pierre Loti, Guy de Maupassant and "Le Calvaire", Octave Mirbeau's novel. She wrote the notes on foreign politics, and was unremitting in her attacks on Bismarck and in her advocacy of a policy of revanche (revenge).

She was close friends with Yuliana Glinka.

Mme. Adam was also generally credited with the authorship of papers on various European capitals signed "Paul Vasili," which were in reality the work of various writers. The most famous of her numerous novels is "Paienne" (1883). Her reminiscences, "Mes premieres armes litteraires et politiques" (1904) and "Mes sentiments et nos idees avant" 1870 (1905), contain much interesting gossip about her distinguished contemporaries.
