About Émile Lauvrière
Lived 1866 – 1954 (aged 87–88). Émile Lauvrière was a French historian, literary historian and scholar of English.
Émile-Joseph Lauvrière (1866 – 1954) was a French historian known for his research into Edgar Allan Poe, and the French-speaking North American Acadia colony and its people.
In his review of Lauvrière's Histoire de la Louisiane française (History of French Louisiana), Angel Mauvaud in the Bulletin Hispanique provides a three-page rundown of the book, noting the books coverage of three groups of French communities in Louisiana and suggesting that "it would be desirable for a similar work to be undertaken on the subject of the Spanish 'survivors' in a country where the names of many states or localities recall their origins".
