LOUVET DE COUVRAI, See also:JEAN See also:BAPTISTE (176o-1797) , See also:French writer and politician, was See also:born in See also:Paris on the 12th of See also:June 1760, the son of a stationer. He became a bookseller's clerk, and first attracted See also:attention with a not very moral novel called See also:Les Amours du See also:chevalier de Faublas (Paris, 1787-1789). The See also:character of the heroine of this See also:book, Lodoiska, was taken from the wife of a jeweller in the Palais Royal, with whom he had formed a liaison. She was divorced from her See also:husband in 1792 and married Louvet in 1793. His second novel, Emilie de • Varmont, was intended to prove the utility and See also:necessity of See also:divorce and of the See also:marriage of priests, questions raised by the Revolution. Indeed all his See also:works were directed to the ends of the Revolution. He attempted to have one of his unpublished plays, L'Anobli conspirateur, performed at the See also:Theatre Frangais, and records naively that one of its managers, M. d'Orfeuil, listened to the See also:reading of the first three acts " with mortal impatience," exclaiming at last: " I should need See also:cannon in See also:- ORDER

- ORDER, HOLY
order to put that piece on the See also:stage." A " sort of See also:farce " at the expense of the See also:army of the emigres, La Grande Revue See also:des armees noire et See also:blanche, had, however, better success: it ran for twenty-five nights.
Louvet was, however, first brought into See also:notice as a politician by his Paris justifie, in reply to a "truly incendiary" pamphlet in which See also:Mounier, after the removal of the See also:- KING

This led to Louvet's See also:election to the Jacobin See also:Club, for which, as he writes bitterly in his See also:Memoirs, the qualifications were then " a genuine civisme and some See also:- TALENT (Lat. talentum, adaptation of Gr.

A self-styled philosophe of the true revolutionary type, he now threw himself ardently into the See also:campaign against " despotism " and " reaction," i.e. against the moderate constitutional See also:royalty advocated by See also:Lafayette, the See also:Abbe See also:Maury and other " Machiavellians." On the 25th of See also:December 1791 he presented at the See also:bar of the See also:Assembly his See also:Petition contre les princes, which had " a prodigious success in the See also:senate and the See also:empire." Elected See also:deputy to the Assembly for the See also:department of Loiret, he made his first speech in See also:January 1792. He attached himself to the See also:Girondists, whose vague See also:deism, sentimental humanitarianism and ardent republicanism he fully shared, and from See also:March to See also:November 1792 he published, at See also:Roland's expense, a bi-weekly journalaffiche, of which the See also:title, La Sentinelle, proclaimed its See also:mission to be to " enlighten the See also:people on all the plots " at a time when, See also:Austria having declared See also:war, the court was " visibly betraying our armies." On the loth of See also:August he became editor of the See also:Journal des dehats, and in this capacity, as well as in the Assembly, made himself conspicuous by his attacks on See also:Robespierre, See also:Marat and the other Montagnards, whom he declares he would have
