Nicolas Eugène Géruzez

Nicolas Eugène Géruzez (6 January 1799 – 29 May 1865), was a French critic.

Biography

He was born at Reims. The canon Jean-Baptiste-François Géruzez (1763–1830) was his uncle. He was assistant professor at the Sorbonne, and in 1852 he became secretary to the faculty of literature. His works include a History of Political and Religious Eloquence in France in the XIV', XV' and XVI' Centuries (1837-1838); an History of French Literature from the Origins to the Revolution (1852), which he supplemented in 1859 by a volume bringing down the history to the close of the revolutionary period; and some miscellaneous works.

Géruzez died in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. A posthumous volume of Mélanges et pensées appeared in 1877.

His son, Victor Eugène Géruzez (known as "Crafty") was an equestrian illustrator.
