The French writer [[Edgar Quinet]] published his prose epic on the legend in 1833, making the subject the judgment of the world; and {{lang|fr|italic=no|[[Eugène Sue]]}} wrote his {{lang|fr|[[Le Juif errant|Juif errant]]}} in 1844, in which the author connects the story of Ahasuerus with that of [[Herodias]]. Grenier's 1857 poem on the subject may have been inspired by {{lang|fr|italic=no|[[Gustave Doré]]}}'s designs, which were published the preceding year. One should also note {{lang|fr|italic=no|[[Paul Féval, père]]}}'s {{lang|fr|La Fille du Juif Errant}} (1864), which combines several fictional Wandering Jews, both heroic and evil, and [[Alexandre Dumas, père|Alexandre Dumas]]' incomplete {{lang|fr|Isaac Laquedem}} (1853), a sprawling historical saga. In Guy de Maupassant's short story "Uncle Judas", the local people believe that the old man in the story is the Wandering Jew.

In the late 1830's, the epic novel "The Wandering Jew," written by Eugene Sue was published in serialized form.
