Adine Riom, née Alexandrine Louise Claudine Broband (25 October 1818, in Le Pellerin – 28 August 1899, in Nantes)[1] was a French writer, poet, and playwright.[2]

Life

Alexandrine Broband was born in Le Pellerin on 25 October 1818. She was a daughter of Louis Broband, a bodyguard of Napoleon Bonaparte’s sister Pauline.[1] At the age of 22, she married the Nantes notary Alexandre Eugene Riom and moved to a private mansion in Nantes, Boulevard Delorme.[1] At her home, Riom held a literary salon that attracted many regional writers such as Joseph Rousse, Émile Péhant, Eugène Lambert, Eugène Manuel, Émile Blin, Honoré Broutelle, Louis Tiercelin and Olivier de Courcuff.[3]

She published several volumes of poetry under the pennames Count of Saint-Jean or Louise d'Isole.[4] Her poetry was received with great success by the critics of the time, including Victor Hugo and Lamartine.[1] Except for poetry Riom wrote three novels. She collaborated with numerous literary magazines such as La France littéraire, La Revue contemporain, and La Revue de Bretagne et de Vendée.[2] Riom also participated in drafting an anthology of Breton poets of the 17th century published in 1884.[3]

Adine Riom died on 28 August 1899 in Nantes.[4]

Adine Riom Cultural Space in Le Pellerin, France was opened in her name recently.[4]
