Charles-Guillaume Étienne
Charles-Guillaume Étienne (; 5 January 177813 March 1845) was a 19th-century French playwright. Biography He was born in Chamouilley, Haute-Marne. He held various municipal offices under the Revolution and came in 1793 to Paris, where he produced his first opera, ''Le Rêve'', in 1799, in collaboration with Antoine-Frédéric Gresnick.

His rivals were not slow to take up the charge of plagiarism, to which Étienne replied that the story was an old one (it existed in an old French fabliaus) and ...
