    Victor Cherbuliez

    Né dans une famille française émigrée en Suisse à la suite de la révocation de l'Édit de Nantes, il avait pour père l'érudit André Cherbulliez (1795-1874), qui enseigna à l'Académie de Genève et ne publia presque rien, mais qui avait voulu que son fils fût une oeuvre de choix, de dilection et de perfection. Redevenu français en 1879 par le bénéfice du droit de « grande naturalisation», il est élu membre de l'Académie française le 18 décembre 1881, et reçu le 25 mai 1882. Auteur d'une trentaine de romans aujourd'hui tombés dans l'oubli, il avait également publié dans la Revue des deux Mondes des articles de critique littéraire et des chroniques politiques signées G. Valbert. Victor Cherbuliez possédait, si l'on en croit Amiel, un certain talent oratoire : « Je sors de la leçon d'ouverture de Victor Cherbuliez, abasourdi d'admiration. Je me suis convaincu en même temps de mon incapacité radicale à jamais rien faire de semblable, pour l'habileté, la grâce, la netteté, la fécondité, la mesure, la solidité et la finesse. Si c'est une lecture, c'est exquis ; si c'est une récitation, c'est admirable ; si c'est une improvisation, c'est prodigieux, étourdissant, écrasant pour nous autres. ».
