But these authors were the 19th century version of Dan Brown. They made far less than a modern writer of similar success would make.

Balzac, Dumas, Gautier, and Sand? They turned out some hack work, no doubt, but also a fair bit that is still read.

I'm talking in terms of success. Of course any French writer of the 19th century is better than Dan Brown.
