He was educated in several Parisian private schools and the Collège Bourbon. The elder Dumas acknowledged him as his natural son and for some time made him his constant companion. In 1847, the younger Dumas published his first novel, \u003ci\u003eAdventures of Four Women and a Parrot\u003c\/i\u003e, followed a year later by \u003ci\u003eCamille (The Lady of the Camellias)\u003c\/i\u003e, and ten other novels over the next decade. Following the great success of the dramatic version of \u003ci\u003eCamille\u003c\/i\u003e, Dumas was gradually drawn away from the novel to the stage. He was elected to the French Academy in 1874 and continued to produce a long line of successful plays until his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eToril Moi \u003c\/b\u003eis James B.
