CHARLES VICTOR (shār-bü-lya'), French romancist; born in Geneva, July 19, 1829. Having studied in the universities of Geneva, Paris, Bonn and Berlin, he became in 1864 one of the editors of the "Revue des Deux Mondes." He gained distinction as art critic and observer of public affairs, and by his romances, under the pseudonym "G. Valbert." His romances are characterized by clever treatment of the problems of domestic and social life and a fine psychological analysis, with a marked bias for description of odd characters. Among his most successful novels are: "Romance of a Respectable Woman" (1866); "Ladislas Bolski's Adventure" (1869); "Samuel Brohl & Co." (1877). He died in Combs-la-Ville, June 30, 1899.
