Jules Case (1854-1931), official at the Ministry of Public Education A journalist, novelist and playwright since 1880, his naturalist approach to writing took a social turn with the publication of Bonnet rouge : "Mr. Jules Case extracted from the realist doctrine, the new methods of establishment of an idealistic novel. No novelist has ever set his ideal so high or pursued it with any conscience." (Gustave Kahn, Symbolists and decadents).
