Paul Lindau

Paul Lindau was a German author and journalist who wrote a biography of the renowned playwright Molière. His work, "Biographie des Dichters aus seinen Werken," was published in 1872, with the text focusing on Molière's life and work. This publication included a photographic image of a bust of Molière, perhaps an attempt to bring a visual element to his literary portrait of the playwright. Lindau's work exemplifies the growing interest in historical figures during the 19th century, a period marked by a renewed appreciation for the arts and literature.
