See also:CAMPISTRON, See also:JEAN GALBERT DE (1656-1723) , See also:French dramatist, was See also:born at See also:Toulouse of See also:noble See also:family in 1656. At the See also:age of seventeen he was wounded in a See also:duel and sent to See also:Paris. Here he became an ardent See also:disciple of See also:Racine. If he copied his See also:master's methods of construction with some success, in the See also:execution of his plans he never advanced beyond mediocrity, nor did he ever approach the See also:secret of the musical lines of Athalie and Padre. He secured the patronage of the influential duchesse de See also:Bouillon by dedicating See also:Arminius to her, and in 1685 he scored his first success with Andronic, which disguised under other names the tragic See also:story of See also:Don See also:Carlos and See also:Elizabeth of See also:France. The piece made a See also:great sensation, but Campistron's treatment is weak, and he failed to avail himself of the possibilities inherent in his subject. Racine was asked by See also:- LOUIS

- LOUIS (893–911)

Louis See also:Joseph, duc de See also:Vendome, to write the See also:book of an See also:opera to be performed at a fete given in See also:honour of the Dauphin. He handed on the See also:commission to Campistron, who produced See also:Acis et Galathee for Lulli's See also:music. Campistron had another success in Tiridate (1691), in which he treated, again under changed names, the biblical story of Amnon's See also:passion for his See also:sister Tamar. He wrote many other tragedies and two comedies, one of which, Le Jaloux desabuse, has been considered by some See also:judges to be his best See also:work. In 1686 he had been made See also:intendant to the duc de Vendome and followed him to See also:Italy and See also:Spain, accompanying him on all his See also:campaigns. If he was not a See also:good poet he was an honest See also:man under circumstances in which corruption was easy and usual. Many honours were conferred on him. The See also:- KING
