Louis Ulbach
Louis Ulbach (born March 7, 1822 in Troyes , † April 16, 1889 in Paris ) was a French journalist and writer.
In 1844, Ulbach, encouraged by Victor Hugo , published his first volume of poetry, Gloriana . He worked for the magazines L'Artiste and Musée des familles for four years before founding Propagateur de l'Aube in 1848 . Here he published a number of political letters under the name Jacques Souffrant , which he followed under his own name Réponses à Jacques Souffrant . The publication of both in one book brought him his first major literary success in 1851.
After the coup d'état of 1851 his magazine was discontinued and Ulbach became a literary critic and in 1853 director of the Revue de Paris . From 1858 to 1860 he directed with François Favre , the Le Monde maçonnique . From 1861 to 1867 he was a theater critic at Le Temps . He then worked for Le Figaro , where he published the Lettres de Ferragus . In them he delivered (in an article under the heading La Littérature putride ) with Émile Zola a polemical dispute about the naturalistic novel on the occasion of the publication of his Thérèse Raquin .
In 1868 Ulbach founded the satirical magazine La Cloche , with which he incurred the wrath of the censors and received a six-month prison sentence. When he published the magazine again in 1871, he was again sentenced to imprisonment and a fine. In 1878 he became a librarian at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal . In 1888 he founded the Revue de famille with Jules Simon , which he directed until his death.
