French writer and politician.
He served in the Chamber of Deputies (188993) and became a strong nationalist. With Charles Maurras , he expounded the doctrines of the French Nationalist Party in two newspapers, and in his novels he expressed an individualism that included a deep-rooted attachment to one's native region. His series of novels titled Les Bastions de l'Est earned success as French propaganda during World War I.
