Everything about Jacques Gr Vin totally explained
Jacques Grévin (
c.
1539-
1570) was a
French dramatist.
Grévin was born at
Clermont in about 1539, and he studied
medicine at the
University of Paris. He became a disciple of
Ronsard, and was one of the band of dramatists who sought to introduce the classical drama in France. As
Sainte-Beuve points out, the comedies of Grévin show considerable affinity with the farces and sotics that preceded them. His first play,
La Maubertine was lost, and formed the basis of a new comedy,
La Trésorière, first performed at the college of Beauvais in 1558, though it had been originally composed at the desire of
Henry II to celebrate the marriage of Claude, duchess of Lorraine.
In
1560 followed the tragedy of
Jules César, imitated from the
Latin of
Muret, and a comedy,
Les Ébahis, the most important but also the most indecent of his works. Grévin was also the author of some medical works and of miscellaneous poems, which were praised by Ronsard until the friends were separated by religious differences. Grévin became in
1561 physician and counsellor to
Margaret of Savoy, and died at her court in
Turin in 1570.
The Théâtre of Jacques Grévin was printed in 1562, and in the
Ancien Théâtre français, vol. iv. (1855-1856). See L Pinvert,
Jacques Grévin (1899).
