Jane de la Vaudère was the pen name of Jeanne Scrive, a French novelist, poet and playwright who was born April 15, 1857, in Paris, and died on July 26, 1908.
Her father was a famous doctor, Gaspard-Léonard Scrive, Surgeon-General of the French Army during the Crimean War.
She is considered by contemporary critics a participant in the Decadent movement and Naturalism. Her poetic works include Les Heures perdues, L'Eternelle chanson, Minuit, and Evocation.
She is also remembered for a collection of decadent novels and short stories, such as Les Androgynes (1903), Les Demi-Sexes (1897), or Les Sataniques (1897) — probably her masterpiece.
She wrote exotic novels as well, including Les Courtisanes de Brahma, La Porte de Félicité or La Gueisha amoureuse. She collaborated with the Théâtre du Grand Guignol.
