Home›Authors›Original Language›FrenchBrowse ByFrenchOriginal language groups authors by the language they actually wrote in. Wikipedia identifies Jane Austen as "an English writer," and her six novels were all composed in English rather than translated into it. This dimension lets a visitor find every author who wrote in the same original language.FrenchConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Open Questions (1 open question)FrenchFilter Results48 entriesGenreAllComedy (1)Drama (13)Epic (1)Fable (1)Gothic Fiction (1)Lyric Poetry (2)Nonfiction Prose (13)Parody (1)Poetry (17)Psychological Fiction (1)Satire (2)Short Fiction (6)Social Novel (1)The Novel (26)Tragicomedy (1)Utopian and Dystopian Fiction (1)MovementAllAestheticism (1)Dadaism (1)Decadent Movement (1)Existentialism (3)Futurism (1)Lost Generation (1)Magical Realism (1)Modernism (1)Naturalism (1)Negritude (2)Nouveau Roman (1)Realism (3)Romanticism (2)Surrealism (1)The Beat Generation (1)The Latin American Boom (1)Theatre of the Absurd (1)Ultraismo (1)Verismo (1)Weimar Classicism (1)Major AwardAllNobel Prize in Literature (2)Nobel Prize in Literature (1954) (1)Nobel Prize in Literature (1969) (1)Prix Goncourt (1)Prix Goncourt (1984) (1)Active EraAll1608 to 1674 (1)1621 to 1695 (1)1622 to 1673 (1)1694 to 1778 (1)1759 to 1805 (1)1783 to 1842 (1)1785 to 1873 (1)1797 to 1856 (1)1798 to 1837 (1)1799 to 1837 (1)1799 to 1850 (1)1802 to 1870 (1)1802 to 1885 (1)1818 to 1883 (1)1821 to 1867 (1)1821 to 1880 (1)1828 to 1910 (1)1839 to 1908 (1)1840 to 1902 (1)1849 to 1912 (1)1854 to 1900 (1)1871 to 1922 (1)1871 to 1936 (1)1875 to 1926 (1)1876 to 1944 (1)1885 to 1962 (1)1896 to 1963 (1)1896 to 1966 (1)1899 to 1961 (1)1899 to 1977 (1)1899 to 1986 (1)1903 to 1950 (1)1904 to 1973 (1)1904 to 1980 (1)1905 to 1980 (1)1906 to 1989 (1)1908 to 1986 (1)1912 to 1978 (1)1913 to 1960 (1)1913 to 2008 (1)1914 to 1996 (1)1920 to 1977 (1)1922 to 1969 (1)1923 to 1985 (1)1924 to 1987 (1)1927 to 2014 (1)1929 to 1981 (1)1932 to 2016 (1)NationalityAllArgentina (1)Austria (1)Belgium (1)Brazil (2)Chile (1)Colombia (1)Cuba (1)Denmark (1)France (22)Germany (1)Ireland (2)Italy (6)Martinique (1)Romania (1)Russia (3)Senegal (1)Sweden (1)United Kingdom (5)United States (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 48Aime CesaireFrenchAlbert CamusFrenchAlejo CarpentierFrenchAlessandro ManzoniFrenchAlexander PushkinFrenchAlexandre DumasFrenchAndre BretonFrenchAugust StrindbergFrenchCharles BaudelaireFrenchClarice LispectorFrenchÉmile ZolaFrenchErnest HemingwayFrenchFilippo Tommaso MarinettiFrenchFriedrich SchillerFrenchGabriel García MárquezFrenchGeorge OrwellFrenchGiacomo LeopardiFrenchGrazia DeleddaFrenchGustave FlaubertFrenchHeinrich HeineFrenchHonoré de BalzacFrenchItalo CalvinoFrenchIvan TurgenevFrenchJack KerouacFrenchJames BaldwinFrenchJean de La FontaineFrenchJean-Paul SartreFrenchJohn MiltonFrenchJorge Luis BorgesFrenchKaren BlixenFrenchLeo TolstoyFrenchLeon DamasFrenchMachado de AssisFrenchMarcel ProustFrenchMarguerite DurasFrenchMariama BâFrenchMolièreFrenchOscar WildeFrenchPablo NerudaFrenchRainer Maria RilkeFrenchSamuel BeckettFrenchSimone de BeauvoirFrenchStendhalFrenchTristan TzaraFrenchUmberto EcoFrenchVictor HugoFrenchVladimir NabokovFrenchVoltaireFrenchConnectionsShowing the first 400 of 452 connections.SourcesEncyclopaedia Britannicatier 1Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.Contains: Johann Wolfgang von GoetheContains: Horace WalpoleContains: Edgar Allan PoeContains: Mary ShelleyContains: Sir Thomas WyattContains: Henry Howard, Earl of SurreyView the SourceVirginia Woolf (Wikipedia)tier 2Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia)Contains: Virginia WoolfView the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
