BERNARD, CHARLES DE , whose full name was PIERRE MARIE CHARLES DE
BERNARD
  DU GRAIL DE LA VILLETTE (1804-185o), French writer, was born at Besancon on the 25th of February 1804. After studying for the law, and then taking to journalism, he was encouraged by Balzac (whose Peau de chagrin he had reviewed) to settle in Paris and devote himself to authorship; and the result was a
series
  of volumes of fiction, remarkable for their picture of provincial society and the Parisian bourgeoisie. The best of these are Le Nexud gordien (1838), containing among other short stories Une Aventure de magistrat, from which Sardou drew his comedy of the Pommes du voisin; Gerfaut (1838), considered his masterpiece; Les Ailes d'Icare (184o), La Peau du lion (1841) and Le Gentilhomtne campagnard
(1847).
His Euvres completes (12 vols.), which appeared after his death on the 6th of
March
  185o, include also his poetry and two comedies written in collaboration with " Leonce " (C. H. L. Laurengot, 1805-1862). A flattering appreciation by Armand de Pontmartin is prefixed to Un Beau-pere in this collection. In W. M.
Thackeray
 's Paris Sketch-book (" On some fashionable French novels ") there is an admirable criticism of
Bernard
 . See also an essay by
Henry
  James in French Poets and Novelists (1884).
