Gustave Albitte (30 April 1812 [1] – 17 November 1898 [2]) was a 19th-century French playwright. He was the son of the conventional Jean-Louis Albitte le Jeune and a nephew of Antoine Louis Albitte l'Aîné. [3]
Besides the plays he wrote in collaboration for the Parisian scenes, he also authored two novels in the style of the 1830s, where elegant young leading a "fashionable" life are experiencing a "Wertherian fever". In addition, Albitte, who also was a lawyer, published a Cours de législation gouvernementale.
