History

The Revue des deux Mondes was founded by Prosper Mauroy and Pierre de Ségur-Dupeyron, first appearing on 1 August 1829. The anodyne periodical with the subtitle Journal des voyages was purchased by a young printer, Auguste-Jean Auffray, who convinced his college roommate François Buloz to edit it: its original emphasis on travel and foreign affairs soon shifted; according to its website, it was created in order to "establish a cultural, economic and political bridge between France and the United States", the Old World and the New. It was purchased in 1831 by Charles Buloz, who was its editor until 1877. Another influential editor in its history was Ferdinand Brunetière.
Among the early regular contributors who established the review's reputation as an elite liberal vehicle of haute culture were Albert, 4th duc de Broglie, François Guizot, Jacques Nicolas Augustin Thierry, Ludovic Vitet,, the literary critics Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve and Gustave Planche, and Jean-Jacques Ampère.
Heinrich Heine first published an essay in three parts in 1834, :fr:s:L%E2%80%99Allemagne depuis Luther|De l'Allemagne depuis Luther, a history of emancipation in Germany beginning with the Reformation.
