Biography
Biography
Paul's name is generally associated with that of his brother, Victor, because of their frequent collaboration. Margueritte, who has given a picture of his home in Algiers in Le Jardin du passé (1895), was sent to the military school of La Flèche for the sons of officers, and became in 1880 clerk to the minister of public instruction. Margueritte, along with Paul Bonnetain, J. Rosny, Lucien Descaves, and Gustave Guiches, released "The Manifesto of the Five" in Le Figaro in 1887 attacking the profane Realism of Emile Zola's Le Terre. He is the author of a Lesbian novel, entitled Tous Quatre. The authors Lucie Paul-Margueritte and Ève Paul-Margueritte were his daughters.
