Biography

Woestyn met Victor Hugo at 14 and had him read his poems.[1] He later became a critic and editor for Le Figaro,[2] and by his profession, left a correspondence with authors like Honoré de Balzac from 1840.[3] He also participated with the Journal du dimanche[4] or among others with Le Gaulois,[5] was a chief editor of the Foyer (1843)[6] and wrote many articles, sometimes polemical,[7] which led to a major quarrel with Frédérick Lemaître.[8] In 1857, he also became chief editor of the Blason de l'Industrie française and in 1858 of the Figaro-programme.[9]

His plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of the 19th century, including the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin and the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique.
