Editing Alexandre Dumas (section)

===Non-fiction===
Dumas was a prolific writer of nonfiction. He wrote journal articles on politics and culture and books on French history.

His lengthy ''Grand Dictionnaire de cuisine'' (''Great Dictionary of Cuisine'') was published posthumously in 1873, and several editions of it are still in print today. A combination of encyclopaedia and cookbook, it reflects Dumas's interests as both a gourmet and an expert cook. An abridged version (the ''Petit Dictionnaire de cuisine'', or ''Small Dictionary of Cuisine'') was published in 1883.

He was also known for his travel writing. These books included:
* ''Impressions de voyage: En Suisse'' (''Travel Impressions: In Switzerland'', 1834)
