Édouard Dujardin

Édouard Dujardin ( born October 10, 1861 in Saint- Gervais- la -Forêt, † 31 October 1949 in Paris) was a French writer and editor, as well as social, literary and art critic.

Life

Édouard Dujardin was friends with Stéphane Mallarmé and the French Symbolists. In 1885 he founded the Revue Wagnerienne.

He is considered a forerunner of the narrative technique of interior monologue in his novel Les lauriers sont coupés (1887 ) and had a decisive influence on the development of the novel in the 20th century, especially in Marcel Proust and James Joyce. The Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler led after reading his novel this technique in the German literature.
