	SparkNotes: The Count of Monte Cristo: Context
		Alexandre Dumas was born in 1802 in the village of Villers-Cotterêts, fifty miles northeast of Paris.
		Dumas spent six years as a clerk, during which time he wrote plays, conducted torrid love affairs, and lived beyond his means, until, in 1829, he had his first dramatic success, with Henry III and His Court.
		This play thrust Dumas into the limelight as one of the forerunners of the emergent French Romantic movement, which emphasized excitement, adventure, and high emotion in an attempt to rebel against the conservative climate of the Restoration period that followed the French Revolution.

	Alexandre Dumas père
		Soon after his arrival in Paris Dumas had entered on a liaison with a dressmaker, Marie Catherine Labay, and their son, the famous Alexandre Dumas fils, was born in 1824.
		Meanwhile Dumas had met with the story of the ill-fated Saint-Mégrin and the duchess of Guise in Anquetil's history, and had written, in prose, Henri III et sa cour, which was immediately accepted by the Comédie Française and produced on the 11th of February 1829.
		As a novelist Dumas began by writing short stories, but his happy collaboration with Auguste Maquet, which began in 1839, led to the admirable series of historical novels in which he proposed to reconstruct the whole course of French history.

	The Fourth Musketeer by J. Lucas-Dubreton
		So, shutting up Dumas in her husband's room (for Dorval was married to a journalist named Merle who had the spirit of the eighteenth century and left her absolutely free), she ordered him to rewrite certain scenes and to emphasize certain incidents.
		Dumas rejoiced to feel again the spirit of 1830, but he was less aggressive and contented himself with saving the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin by handing over to the rioters the weapons in the property-storerooms.
		Dumas fell to earth again and grew expansive in listening to the story of "la chasse au chastre" at Marseilles, or the tale of the village of Cuges which had no water, or in telling these stories again himself with an extraordinary accent.

		The 51 additional titles can be divided in the following way: 2 plays signed by Dumas and published separately, 22 unpublished ones (6 of which are incomplete), and 27 which appeared solely under the names of his collaborators—because he did not like to sign with a co-author, or because lie was avoiding his creditors.
		These latter plays can be attributed to Dumas on the basis of positive proofs (letters, copyrights and handwriting of the manuscripts).
		Dumas is one of the four main French Romantic playwrights—the others being Vigny, Hugo and Musset.

		Though undoubtedly fond of Catherine, the elder Dumas certainly had no intention of settling down with her, as his intellectual, artistic, financial, and social ambitions reached far beyond the world of the seamstress.
		Given the fact that General Thomas Alexandre Dumas was half-fl, his son Dumas pere, a quarter, and Dumas fils, what was so quaintly termed in those days an "octoroon," it is interesting that in all the biographical and autobiographical material on "Les Trois Dumas" there is minimal discussion of race and racial prejudice.
		Dumas pere thought the subject couldn’t be dramatized but when his son read the completed play to him he wept copiously and immediately scheduled it for Le Théatre Historique which he owned.
