The last of Alexandre Dumas's many mistresses, the American actress Adah Menken, called him "the king of romance." She was not thinking only of his immensely popular novels The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo - everything about Dumas was touched with the spirit of romance, and it is that spirit which this exhilarating biography captures. There was romance in Dumas's origins. He grew up in the country, the son of a general who fought under Napoleon in Egypt and Italy and whose own parents were a French marquis and a slave from Haiti. As a boy, Dumas's closest friends were local poachers and a gardener whom he once watched cut open a grass snake to liberate a frog. The world was full of magical possibilities, and, in his twenties, after moving to Paris and working as a clerk under the Duc d'Orleans, Dumas established himself, with Victor Hugo, as one of the leading Romantic playwrights. In its scope and richness, Dumas's life bears comparison to those of his fictional heroes. Drawing on Dumas's memoirs and surviving correspondence, Professor Hemmings constructs a fascinating story, first published in 1979, of a writer whose novels continue to excite our imagination.

IN WHICH THE AUTHOR DEMONSTRATES THAT FATHERS AND MOTHERS OF DAUGHTERS IN CONVENTS CAN SLEEP ON BOTH EARS. But Roger had borne it in mind, and this is what had kept him from yielding to utter despair. He remembered even, if his childish memories were not at fault, that he had been a great favorite with that good aunt whom he had formerly visited with his mother on two or three occasions, and who, in turn, had as often come to Anguil- hem; yet Roger experienced some pangs in the depths of his heart for having been less attentive to her at that period, or rather at those different periods, than he should have been. Indeed, he recalled the innumerable cares, attentions, and civilities lavished on himself which had then appeared irksome and fatiguing, and which, on the contrary, ought to have filled him with gratitude. Among other cloistral diversions, Roger had not forgotten how reluctantly he had been forced, during the whole time of his sojourn at Chinon, to engage in mass and vespers, and that, too, in spite of the angelic singing of the nuns, novices, and boarding-school girls, which accompanied the divine service. Ah ! well, only see how fickle in his tastes and changeable in his desires is man. At present, his highest ambition was to attend those religious ceremonies, to try to recognize, among all those angel voices, the voice of Constance soaring melodiously toward heaven; only to see amid that white flock of theLord's, that figure, so ethereal, so light, so pure, that she seemed to belong to some unknown dream-world, which, for the time being, had lent her to ours, and which threatened each hour to recall her. Above all, Roger dimly remembered in his aunt's room a certain window that overlooked a garden where the nuns walked in hours of recreation; a window ...
