More information

La Bruyère was born in Paris, (not, as was once thought, at Dourdan (in today's Essonne département)). His family was middle class, and his reference to a certain Geoffroy de La Bruyère, a crusader, is only a satirical illustration of a method of self-ennoblement common in France as in some other countries. Indeed he himself always signed the name Delabruyère in one word, as evidence of this. ...   La Bruyère was born in Paris, (not, as was once thought, at Dourdan (in today's Essonne département)).
