Charles Victor Prévot, Viscount of Arlincourt (1788-1856), was a French politician, writer, and poet. Son of a guillotined man during the Reign of Terror, he studied at the École Polytechnique and law. He served Napoleon as an auditor in the Council of State and in the administration in Spain. After the Restoration, he was a gentleman of the bedchamber to Charles X. His literary career took off with the gothic novel "Le Solitaire" (1821), achieving great popular success despite criticism for his pompous and melodramatic style, characteristic of ultra-romanticism.
