De Beaunoir
Alexandre-Louis-Bertrand Robineau, called ''de Beaunoir'', (4 April 1746 – 5 August 1823) was an 18th-century French playwright. Biography Intended for the service of the Church, he indeed became abbot, but quickly turned away, fascinated by the life of Paris. Passionate about theater, he began writing for the fair troupe of Jean-Baptiste Nicolet. His first play, ''La Bourbonnaise'' (1768), was highly applauded, to the point that Nicolet hired him to replace Toussaint-Gaspard Taconet. He wrote up to three plays a week, under the name Abbé Robineau, and earned 18 pounds per play. In 1777, he had his ''L'Amour quêteur'' presented, little play quite scandalous but an immediate success. The Archbishop of Paris made Robineau disrobed, who immediately took the pseudonym Beaunoir, anagram of his name. Beaunoir served Nicolet until 1780, then composed more ambitious plays which were given at the Théâtre des Variétés-Amusantes and the Comédie Italienne. Around 1770, he had b ...

During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions.
