French writer, politician, diplomat and historian who is considered the founder of Romanticism in French literature. Descended from an old aristocratic family from Brittany, Chateaubriand was a royalist by political disposition; in an age when a number of intellectuals turned against the Church, he authored the Génie du christianisme in defense of the Catholic faith. His works include the autobiography Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe ("Memoirs from Beyond the Grave", published posthumously in 1849–1850).

François-René de Chateaubriand was a prominent French writer, diplomat, and politician who lived from 1768 to 1848. He is known for his works of literature, such as "Atala" and "Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe," as well as his political and diplomatic career.
