Alfred Louis Charles de Musset-Pathay 11 December 1810 - 2 May 1857 was a French dramatist poet and novelist. Along with his poetry he is known for writing the autobiographical novel La Confession d'un enfant du siècle The Confession of a Child of the Century. Musset was born in Paris. An early indications of his boyhood talents was his fondness for acting impromptu mini-plays based upon episodes from old romance stories he had read. Years later elder brother Paul de Musset would preserve these and many other details for posterity in a biography of his famous younger brother. Alfred de Musset entered the lycée Henri-IV at the age of nine where in 1827 he won the Latin essay prize in the Concours général. With the help of Paul Foucher Victor Hugo's brother-in-law he began to attend at the age of 17 the Cénacle the literary salon of Charles Nodier at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal. He became one of the first Romantic writers with his first collection of poems Contes d'Espagne et d'Italie 1829 Tales of Spain and Italy. By the time he reached the age of 20 his rising literary fame was already accompanied by a sulfurous reputation fed by his dandy side. He was the librarian of the French Ministry of the Interior under the July Monarchy. His politics were of a liberal stamp and he was on good terms with the family of King Louis Philippe. The tale of his celebrated love affair with George Sand in 1833-1835 is told from his point of view in his autobiographical novel La Confession d'un Enfant du Siècle The Confession of a Child of the Century 1836 which was made into a 1999 film Children of the Century and a 2012 film Confession of a Child of the Century and is told from her point of view in her Elle et lui 1859. Musset's Nuits Nights 1835-1837 traces the emotional upheaval of his love for Sand from early despair to final resignation. He is also believed to be the anonymous author of Gamiani or Two Nights of Excess 1833 a lesbian erotic novel also believed to be modeled on Sand. Outside of his relationship with Sand he was a well-known figure in brothels and is widely accepted to be the anonymous author-client who beat and humiliated the author and courtesan Céleste de Chabrillan also known as La Mogador. Musset was dismissed from his post as librarian by the new minister Ledru-Rollin after the revolution of 1848. He was however appointed librarian of the Ministry of Public Instruction in 1853. On 24 April 1845 Musset received the Légion d'honneur at the same time as Balzac and was elected to the Académie Française in 1852 after two failed attempts in 1848 and 1850. Alfred de Musset died in his sleep in Paris in 1857. The cause was heart failure. One symptom that had been noticed by his brother was a bobbing of the head as a result of the amplification of the pulse; this was later called de Musset's sign. Les Amis d'Edouard paperback
