Philippe Quinault
Philippe Quinault (
June 3,
1635 –
November 26, 1688),
French dramatist and
librettist, was born in
Paris.He was educated by the liberality of
Tristan L'Hermite, the author of Marianne. Quinault's first play was produced at the Hôtel de Bourgogne in 1653, when he was only eighteen. The piece succeeded, and Quinault followed it up, but he also read for the bar; and in 1660, when he married a widow with money, he bought himself a place in the Cour des Comptes. Then he tried tragedies (Agrippa, etc.) with more success.

Introdotto nei salotti mondano-letterari da Tristan l'Hermite (al cui servizio era entrato come valletto), Quinault iniziò una brillante carriera. Sposatosi con una ricca vedova nel 1660, ebbe i mezzi per comprarsi successivamente i titoli di valet de chambre du roi e di auditeur à la chambre des comptes; nel 1670 venne accolto all'
Académie Française.
