Léon Hennique (4 November 1850 – 25 December 1935) was a French naturalistic novelist and playwright.
Life[edit]
Léon Hennique was born in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe, the son of the naval infantry officer Agathon Hennique. He studied painting, but after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 devoted himself to literature and became a naturalistic novelist and dramatist. He was a friend of Émile Zola, but broke with him over the Dreyfus Affair.
He died in Paris on 25 December 1935[1] and is buried at Ribemont.[2]
His daughter was the symbolist poet Nicolette Hennique.
