Jacques Rivière (15 July 1886 – 14 February 1925) was a French "man of letters" — a writer, critic and editor who was "a major force in the intellectual life of France in the period immediately following World War I." He edited La Nouvelle Revue Française (NRF) from 1919 until his death.
He was influential in winning a general public acceptance of Marcel Proust as an important writer.
His close friend was Alain-Fournier (Henri Alban-Fournier) with whom he exchanged an abundant correspondence.
