Chateaubriand was not unfavourable to the Revolution in its first stages, but he was disturbed by its early excesses; moreover, his regiment was disbanded, and his family belonged to the party of reaction.
But Chateaubriands favorite resort was the salon of Pauline de Beaumont, who was destined to fill a great place in his life, and gave him some help in the preparation of his work on Christianity, part of the book being written at her house at Savigny.
Chateaubriand is chiefly significant as marking the transition from the old classical to the modern romantic school.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand
Chateaubriand has beautiful ideas; on the past, in his historical pages; on the present, in his political writings, though the latter may not be free from error; and he has abundant views on the future, particularly on the subject of religion and the social rôle which he believed it called upon to play.
Chateaubriand's mind oscillated between the faith of the Christian and the incredulity of the sceptic, but his heart, never wholly indifferent, threw its entire belief into the scale, and faith triumphed forever.
Chateaubriand took up the challenge; he proved that this derided religion was the most beautiful of all, and likewise the most favourable to literature and the arts.

 Chateaubriand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chateaubriand steak is a thick cut from the center of the filet, created by his personal chef for vicomte François-René de Chateaubriand, (1768 –1848), the author and diplomat who served Napoleon as an ambassador and Louis XVIII as Secretary of State for two years.
A Chateaubriand will be grilled barded, that is cooked with a strip of bacon or lard around it to keep it moist; it will be served medium-rare, never well done, and served with a sauce.
However wonderful and tender a Chateaubriand is, it is still a cut from the fillet, and so it is less tasty than other cuts.

 Christianity in Literary Creation: Chateaubriand and Dostoevsky
Chateaubriand grew up during the rise of religious doubt and atheism of the Enlightenment, as he described in Le Genie du Christianisme: "Religion was attacked with every kind of weapon, from the pamphlet to the folio, from the epigram to the sophism.
Chateaubriand debated against the notion of the Enlightenment that humanity is by nature rational, as he said, "Man's heart is the toy of everything, and no one can tell what frivolous circumstance may cause its joys and its sorrows (Chateaubriand, 1899, p.124).
Chateaubriand and Dostoevsky depict the faith of these women as divinely beautiful, which coincides with their view of the aesthetic perfection of Christianity as the basis for its divine inspiration.

 Re: Chateaubriand, Vicomte François René de
One old story tells us that Brillat-Savarin dined in Paris with the vicomte Francois Rene Chateaubriand on th night that an anonymous restaurant proprietor invented steak Chateaubriand in his honor.
The occasion, according to this version, was the publication of the French romantic's _la Genie du christianisme_, and the succulent tenderloin was encased between two flank steaks, symbolizing Christ and the thieves.
More likely, steak Chateaubriand was invented and named by the novelist's chef, Montmirel, and served for the first time at the French embassy in London.
