• JOSEPH HENRY ROSNY

ROSNY  , a pseudonym covering the collaboration of the French novelists, Joseph Henri Honore Boex, born at Brussels in 1856, and his brother Seraphin Justin Francois Boex, born at Brussels in 1859 . The novels of J . H . Rosny are full of scientific knowledge, of astronomy, anthropology, zoology and, above all, sociology . The stories are approached from the point of view of society rather than of the individual, but the characters, strongly individualized and intensely real, are only incidentally typical . The elder Rosny was the sole author of the earlier novels, and began novel-writing as an avowed disciple of Zola . Nell Horn, membre de 1'armee du salut (1885) is a picture of London life and social reform; Le Bilateral (1886) and Marc Fane (1888) describe the revolutionary and anarchist parties of Paris; L'Immolation (1887) is a brutal story of peasant life; Le Termite (189o) is a picture of literary life in Paris; and Vamireh (1891), with Erymah (1895),and Les Profondeurs de Kyamo (short stories, 1896) and others deal with prehistoric man . MM . Rosny were among the writers who in 1887 entered a formal protest in the Figaro against Zola's La Terre, and they were designated by Edmond de Goncourt as original members of his academy . Among their later novels the more famous are: Daniel Valgraive (1891), a study in the possibilities of personal sacrifice; L'Imperieuse Bonte (1894), an indictment of Parisian charity; L'Indomptee (1895), the history of a girl medical student in Paris; Le Serment (1896, dramatized 1897); Les Ames perdues (1899), another anarchist novel; La Charpente (1900); Therese Degaudy (1902); Le Crime du docteur (1903); Le Docteur Harambur (1904); Le Millionaire (1905); and Sous le fardeau (1906) .
