Auguste Defauconpret
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auguste Jean-Baptiste Defauconpret (1767–1843) was a French man of letters.
Initially a lawyer, Defauconpret relocated to England where he wrote some now forgotten novels. However, he became well-known for his translations into French of English-language novels, particularly those of Walter Scott and James Fenimore Cooper, although he modified the text of The Last of the Mohicans to be more favorable to the French.
