Le Siècle, subtitled "political, literary and social economy journal," is a French daily newspaper whose first issue appeared on July 1, 1836 and whose publication ceased in 1932.
Founded by Armand Dutacq, it represented under the July Monarchy the dynastic left opposed to Guizot. It was directed by Hercules Guillemot then Chambolle for the political section; Louis Desnoyers handled the literary section of the newspaper, to which many writers contributed including Charles Nodier, Léon Gozlan, Alphonse Karr, Jules Sandeau. Honoré de Balzac delivered his first edition of Béatrix there in August 1839.
Initially rivaled by La Presse by Émile de Girardin created the same day, Le Siècle quickly acquired a wide audience (30,000 subscribers in 1839) and prospered until 1848. Well distributed throughout the country to a bourgeois and liberal public, its circulation increased until it became the most influential of the French dailies of the time (35,000 copies in 1870).
From October 1870 to March 1871, it was published in Poitiers, then in Bordeaux. Suppressed by the Commune, it reappeared in Paris on May 15, 1871. After this date, it never regained the influence it had in its role as opponent.
