Victor Neuburg is a former senior lecturer at the School of Librarianship, University of North London. His publications include "Popular Literature" and "A Guide to the Western Front,"Contributor Bio:  Labiche, Eugene Eugene Labiche fait des etudes classiques puis obtient une licence de droit, mais c'est le theatre qui le passionne. Il ecrit son premier vaudeville, "L' Article 960", en 1839. Sous Napoleon III, c'est la gloire, tout d'abord avec "Un chapeau de paille" puis, en 1860, "Le Voyage de M. Perrichon" qui lui vaut le titre de 'roi du vaudeville'. Des lors, il enchaine les pieces (plus de cent !) avec toujours le meme succes grace a un humour satirique et moderne melant quiproquo, hasard qui se joue des personnages, et humour. Issu de la bourgeoisie, Eugene Labiche en fut l'observateur attentif, faisant preuve d'une grande justesse psychologique, et sut particulierement bien decrire le role de l'argent sous le Second Empire.
