François-René de Chateaubriand
François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand (September 4, 1768 - July 4, 1848) was a French writer and diplomat.
A major figure in early French Romanticism, he acquired fame with Le Génie du christianisme (The Genius of the Christian religion), an apology[?] for the Christian faith which contributed to the post-revolutionary religious revival in France. His autobiography Mémoires d'outre-tombe (Memoirs from beyond the grave) is today considered as his most accomplished work.
