Paul Bourget

    Paul Bourget fut un romancier et essayiste français qui réagit contre le naturalisme, inaugurant le roman d'analyse expérimental. Ses premières œuvres, riches en études fines de mœurs et de caractères, séduisirent la société mondaine parisienne en quête d'un rêve de modernité. Bourget s'orienta ensuite vers le « roman à thèse », explorant les causes psychologiques et morales des problèmes individuels et sociaux. Son œuvre, influencée par sa conversion au catholicisme, chercha à synthétiser foi et science, abordant les préoccupations sociales, politiques et religieuses de son temps.
