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.
