Le Monde Dramatique was a periodical published in Paris, France, from May 1835 to September 1841. It was founded by Gérard de Nerval and Anatole Bouchardy. The short-lived magazine was "overly ambitious and poorly managed",[1] consisting mostly of unsigned articles reviewing or commenting upon the theater. It also included some early writings of Anatole's brother Joseph Bouchardy, who would later go on to a successful career as a playwright.
