Novelist Paul Adam owed his reputation, at one time considerable, to rather heavily written novels of social history, e.g. Robes rouges (1891), Le Vice filial (1891), La Force du mal (1896), depicting contemporary judicial, medical, and Bohemian circles; Le Mystere des foules (1895), about the Boulan-gist (q.v.) movement; La Force (1899), L'Enfant d'Austerlitz (1902), La Ruse (1903), Au soleil de juillet (1903).
The last four, novels of French family and military life between 1800 and 1830, belong to the group entitled Le Temps et la vie, some sixteen in all (1899-1903). En decor (1891), provincial life, La Ville inconnue (1911), Paris, Le Trust (1910), and Stephanie (1913) are also remembered.
Two earlier novels by this author, Chair molle (1885) and Etre, ou les feux du Sabbat (1888), were strongly influenced by Naturalism and Symbolism (qq.v.) respectively.
Paul Adam's Petit Glossaire pour servir a l'intelligence des auteurs decadents et symbolistes (published 1888 under the pseudonym Jacques Plowert) was apparently written without any satirical intention. (See also The Chez Miranda, Le.)
