Watts Phillips, a British dramatist, who was among Dumas’ acquaintances, described him as “the most generous, large-hearted being in the world. He also was the most delightfully amusing and egotistical creature on the face of the earth.

Some of his numerous works include fiction novels such as Captain Paul, his first novel in series; The convert of St. Paul; The Specter Mother; Georges; The Conspirators; The Regent’s Daughter; works about drama such as Antony; Kean; and some nonfiction books such as Travel Impressions: In Switzerland; The New Troy; The Journal of Madame Giovanni; Impressions of Travel in Sicily; and other major works.
