He reached two singles finals at the Amateur French Championships, winning in 1892 over British player Fassitt, and losing in 1893 to Laurent Riboulet. Educated at the Sorbonne and the École du Louvre, Schopfer started writing in 1899. Under the name Claude Anet, Schopfer published many books, including La Révolution Russe, written after a trip to Russia during World War I, Mayerling, based on the Mayerling Incident, and Simon Kra, a biography of tennis player Suzanne Lenglen. WHILE THE EARTH SHOOK is a novel of the Russian Revolution, by a writer who witnessed the events personally. Schopfer wrote several other novels and travel accounts as well as a couple of plays. He was an expert on Persia and critical of French archaeological practices in that area. He has an entry in the Dictionnaire des orientalistes de langue francaise.
