Girardin, Émile de

Japanese: ジラルダン（英語表記）Girardin， Émile de

Born: June 21, 1806 in Paris
Died April 27, 1881. Paris. French newspaper owner and politician. Born as the illegitimate son of Count Girardin. He initially aspired to be a writer, and became interested in newspapers around the time of the July Revolution of 1830. In 1831, he married the female writer G. Delphine. Around this time, he opened a salon in Paris, attracting leading politicians and literary figures. In 1836, he founded La Presse. Thanks to his groundbreaking attempt to base newspaper management on advertising revenue, the paper's subscription fee was 40 francs per year, which was incredibly low at the time. He also published newspaper novels, greatly expanding his readership. However, due to his strong Orléanist influence, he was rumored to be receiving government support, which led to a duel with A. Carrel of the newspaper National, which resulted in Carrel's death. He entered politics in 1834, and continued to be unprincipled as a politician. He wrote plays and novels, and also wrote political commentary, but he is highly regarded for his newspaper theory. His major work was the autobiographical novel Émile (1827).

[生]1806.6.21. パリ
[没]1881.4.27. パリ
フランスの新聞経営者で政治家。ジラルダン伯の私生児として生れた。初め作家を志し，1830年の7月革命頃，新聞に興味をもつ。 31年女流作家 G.デルフィーヌと結婚。この頃からパリでサロンを開き，一流の政治家や文学者を集めた。 36年『プレス』 La Presseを創刊。広告収入を新聞経営の一つの土台にするという画期的な試みのおかげで，同紙の購読料は年間 40フランという当時としては破天荒な安さであった。また新聞小説を掲載して読者層を大幅に拡大した。ただし，オルレアン派の色彩が強かったせいもあって，政府の援助を受けていると噂され，そのため『ナシオナル』紙の A.カレルと決闘し，カレルは死んだ。 34年から政界入りもし，政治家としては節操のない態度を続けた。劇作や小説の筆をとり，また政治評論もしたが，新聞理論の面で評価されている。主著は自伝小説の『エミール』 Émile (1827) 。
