The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later ( ) is a novel by
Alexandre Dumas. It is the third and last of the
d'Artagnan Romances, following
The Three Musketeers and
Twenty Years After. It appeared first in serial form between 1847 and 1850. In the English translations, the 268 chapters of this large volume are usually subdivided into three, but sometimes four or even five individual books. In three-volume English editions the volumes are entitled
The Vicomte de Bragelonne,
Louise de la Vallière, and
The Man in the Iron Mask. Each volume is roughly the length of the original
The Three Musketeers. In four-volume editions volume names remain except that
Louise de la Vallière and
The Man in the Iron Mask move from second and third volumes to third and fourth, with
Ten Years Later becoming the second volume. There are usually no volume-specific names in five-volume editions.
