Louis Leon Theodore Gosselin (1855 - 1935) was a French historian and playwright who wrote under the pen name G. Lenotre. He wrote articles in publications such as Le Figaro, Revue des deux mondes, Le Monde illustre and Le Temps. He also produced numerous works dealing with the French Revolution, especially the Reign of Terror, constructed from his research into primary documents of the era. His work was recognized and admired by his contemporaries. Gosselin was made an officer of the Legion d'honneur and in 1932 was elected to the Academie francaise, but died before being able to sit in the Academy and never made the speech which he had written in homage to his predecessor, Rene Bazin.
