Alexandre Dumas fils

About Alexandre Dumas fils

Alexandre Dumas fils (1824–1895) was a prominent French novelist and playwright, best known for his work advocating for social reform and his masterpiece, *La Dame aux Camélias* (The Lady of the Camellias), which inspired Verdi's opera *La Traviata*. His literary and cultural significance places him solidly within the top tier of historical figures, earning him an HPI Rank of #944 out of roughly 15,000 entries.

Despite this established historical importance, his modern digital footprint is considerably smaller. In 2025, Alexandre Dumas fils garnered approximately 145K annualized Wikipedia views, placing him in a state of underattention relative to his historical weight, quantified as an Attention Gap of -2x. To contextualize this, contemporary writer W. Somerset Maugham, ranked only slightly less important at #977, received almost three times the traffic with 420K views, illustrating a notable divergence between his historical rank and current internet engagement.

While his year-over-year attention is positive (+8.6%), a slight dip of -9% between Q1 and Q3 of 2025 suggests his modest online momentum may be leveling off after any recent spikes in interest.
