Eugène Alcan (1811 – c. 1898) was a French Jewish litterateur, painter, and poet, who embraced Roman Catholic Christianity.[1] He was born in Paris in 1811, and died about 1898.[1] He was a brother of Alphonse Alkan, but the reason for the difference in the orthography of the family name has never been explained.[1]
Alcan was the author of the following works:[1]
- La Légende des Âmes: Souvenirs de Quelques Conférences de Saint Vincent de Paul (1879)
- La Flore Printanière: Souvenirs du Berceau et de la Première Enfance (1882)
- La Flore du Calvaire: Traits Caractéristiques de Quelques Voies Douloureuses (1884)
