About “Goncourt Journal”
The Goncourt Journal was a diary written by brothers Edmond and Jules de Goncourt. They wrote together from 1850 until Jules died in 1870, and Edmond continued alone until shortly before his death in 1896. The journal offers a detailed and honest record of the literary and artistic scene in Paris during their time. It captures a world filled with intense competition and complex relationships, where social interactions, especially in cafés on the Grands Boulevards, played a key role in shaping literary status and influence.
