-
A French dramatist (1794-1854), whose first success was the tragedy "Louis IX". (1819). In 1841 he was elected a member of the Academy. His works include: "Fiesco" (1824), a successful imitation of Schiller's play; "Maria Padilla" (1838); "Marie of Brabant", an epic (1825); "Six Months in Russia", a medley of prose and verse (1827); "The Man of the World", a novel (1827); "Familiar Epistles" (1842), satires of great elegance of style. His wife Marguerite Louise Virginie, nee Chardon (1792-1875), was frequently his co-laborer and also the author of plays and novels. Of the former, "Marie, or the Three Epochs" (1836) is the best; of the latter, "Renee de Varville" (1853) and "The Banker's Niece" (1853) found most favor.
