CONTEXT

lexandre Dumas was born in 1802 in the villageof Villers-Cotterets,fifty miles northeast of Paris.

His father,Thomas Alexandre Dumas,had been ageneral under Napoleon*,though in 1799 the two

men had a falling out and never reconciled.Thomas Alexan-dre never received the pay due to him as a former officer,sohis family was left poor.In 1806 the elder Dumas died,andhis wife and two children struggled to keep afloat.Despite theproblems that Napoleon caused to the Dumas family,Alexan-dre remained a lifelong admirer of the former emperor.In-deed,there are strong democratic leanings evident in Dumas'sliterary works.

The younger Dumas was not a good student,but he hadexcellent handwriting.When he moved to Paris in 1823,hop-ing to make his fortune as an author,his lovely handwritingearned him a job as a minor clerk.Dumas spent six years as aclerk,during which time he wrote plays,conducted torrid loveaffairs,and lived beyond his means,until,in 1829,he had hisfirst dramatic success,with Henry Ill and His Court.This playthrust Dumas into the limelight as one of the forerunners ofthe emergent French Romantic movement,which emphasizedexcitement,adventure,and high emotion in an attempt to rebelagainst the conservative climate of the Restoration period thatfollowed the French Revolution.

Like his Romantic colleagues,Dumas believed in theprinciples of social equality and individual rights,and he tried2

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

to infuse his dramatic works with these principles.Dumaswent further than writing about his beliefs,however.He tookan active role in the Revolution of 1830*,helping to capture apowder magazine at Soissons*,and he was appointed organizerof the National Guard at Vendee*.Encountering strong localopposition,Dumas gave up the position,refusing to act againstthe wishes of the majority.

Returning to the literary community of Paris,Dumas con-tinued to write popular plays,sticking to historical works thathe filled with melodrama.He also began to write travel litera-ture,which led to a walking tour of southern France in 1834(atour that would later be put to use in The Count of Monte

Cristo).In the late 1830s,Dumas began writing novels,asmuch for financial gain as for artistic reasons.It had becomecommon for cheap newspapers to run novels in serial form,and if a writer was'adept at writing quickly and melodramati-cally,as Dumas was,the financial incentives were enormous.

Dumas was so good at this sort of writing that he sometimeshad three or four serial novels running simultaneously.Hiswriting soon made him the most famous Frenchman of hisday,and he gained renown throughout the Western world.In1844,the same year he published The Three Musketeers,Du-mas began the serialization of The Count of Monte Cristo.Hecontinued writing prolifically for most of his life,publishinghis last novel,The Prussian Terror,in 1867,three years beforehis death.

Dumas also found the time to live like one of his dash-ing,dramatic,reckless heroes.He was constantly engaged inlove affairs,foreign adventures,and exorbitant spending.Hewas also a generous man,granting money and gifts to virtually

然大仲马不光是写这些内容,他还积极参与1830年苹命,帮助夺取得了在苏瓦松的火药库。他被任命为旺代国家警卫组织者。在遭到当地人们强烈的反对后,大仲马放弃了这一任职,拒绝做违背多数人意愿的事。

大仲马重回巴黎的文学社区,继续写流行戏剧,坚持把情节剧的手法融入历史剧。他也开始写游记,为此大仲马于1834年步行游览了法国南部(此次出行稍后被用到《基督山伯爵》中)。19世纪30年代后期,大仲马开始写小说,既为挣线,也为艺术。廉价报纸上的连戟小说成了当时的时尚。如果一位作家能像大仲马

一样熟练而且快速地写情节剧的话,是能挣到大钱的。大仲马精热此道,他有时能同时写三四个连找小说。这些小说使大仲马很快成为当时最著名的法国人,而且使他在整个西方享有盛誉。1844年,大仲马出版了《三个火枪手》,同年大仲马开始写《基督山伯爵》的连找小说。他一生中大部分时间都在不断地写作,并且产出倾多。大仲马的最后一部小说《普鲁士的恐怖》于1867年出版,三年后大仲马去世。

大仲马像他作品里的一位主人公那样生活,浮华、需有戏刷性,并且鲁莽。大仲马天生风流,经常到外国去置险,并且挥霍成性。他也是一个慷慨大方的人,凡是温到找他要钱或要礼物的人,他几乎从不拒

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

anyone who asked.Dumas's self-indulgent lifestyle and ex-cessive generosity eventually took.a toll on his finances.Bythe time he suffered a stroke in 1870,he was far from a richman,despite the fact that he had earned millions of dollars inhis lifetime.He died in December 1870 at the home of hisson,the novelist Alexandre Dumas the younger.

Dumas's liberal borrowing from outside sources occa-sionally brought him accusations of plagiarism.While he liftedmany of his plotlines from the works of other authors andfrom historical events,he molded these stories in his owncharacteristic way,making them his own.The Count of Monte

Cristo is an example of the appropriation process Dumas fre-quently employed.His inspiration for the novel was an anec-dote he read in Memoires historiques tires des archives de lapolice de Paris,a collection of intriguing criminal casesrecorded by Jacques Peuchet,a former police archivist.Theanecdote relates that in 1807,a man named Frangois Picaudbecame engaged to a pretty and wealthy girl,inspiring the en-vy of his friends.One of these friends,Loupian,persuaded theothers to join him in denouncing Picaud as an English spy.

Though innocent of the charge,Picaud was arrested and keptin prison for seven years.While in prison,he befriended a rich

Italian cleric who left Picaud his vast fortune when he died.

Picaud returned to Paris in 1815 as a wealthy man.Using hiswealth,as well as numerous disguises,he enacted a complexplan to avenge himself on his enemies,murdering several ofthem.Though this real-life story has the all the essential plotelements of Dumas's novel,it lacks the fantastical,epic pro-portions of great melodrama.Dumas's greatest gift was hisability to grant epic proportion to existing stories,just as he
