Jean Jules JusserandJean Adrien Antoine Jules Jusserand (February 18, 1855 - July 18, 1932) was a French author and diplomatist. Born at Lyon, he entered the diplomatic service in 1876 and became in 1878 consul in London. After an interval spent in Tunis he returned to London in 1887 as a member of the French Embassy. In 1890 he became French minister at Copenhagen, and in 1902 was transferred to Washington, where he remained until 1925. In 1920 he took part in a diplomatic mission to the Second Polish Republic, during the Polish-Soviet War. A close student of English literature, he produced some very lucid and vivacious monographs on comparatively little-known subjects: - Le Thtre en Angleterre depuis la conqute jusqu'aux prdcesseurs immdiats de Shakespeare (1878)
- Le Roman au temps de Shakespeare (1887; Eng. trans. by Miss E. Lee, 1890)
- Les Anglais au Moyen ge: la vie nomade et les routes d'Angleterre au XIVe sicle (1884; Eng. trans., English Wayfaring Life in the Middle Ages, by LT Smith, 1889)
- L'pope de Langland (1893; Eng. trans., Piers Plowman, 1894).
His Histoire littraire du peuple anglais, the first volume of which was published in 1895, was completed in three volumes in 1909. In English he wrote A French Ambassador at the Court of Charles II (1892), from the unpublished papers of the count de Cominges. Reference Jusserand, Jean Jules Jusserand, Jean Jules
