	Albert Chevalier
		Chevalier's association with the legitimate stage is apparent in the kind of dramatic monologues he favoured.

		In view of Chevalier's attitude to the halls, it is a little surprising that he is able so well to get into the world about which he sings and to show such sympathetic understanding about it.

	"chevalier" in the French nobility (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Chevalier was also a title attached to members of the orders of knighthood: these were, of course, purely ad personam.
		Note, however, that by an edict of 1750, three consecutive generations of officers who were recipients of the order of Saint-Louis and who met certain requirements on duration of service endowed the issue of the 3d member with hereditary nobility (but not knighthood; see more details).
		This implied that if the original grantee was succeeded by a son and a grandson who were also members of the L of H (and thus did not need confirmation) the title was automatically hereditary starting with the 4th generation.

		Chevalier vividly evokes the complex domestic tensions of the household, ruled over by the painter's jealous, eternally pregnant wife and his taciturn mother-in-law.
		Chevalier demonstrates her considerable skill in presenting Griet to be at the same time naive and intelligent, hemmed in by her lack of status and strong of spirit.

		In keeping with her bestselling Girl with a Pearl Earring, and its Edwardian-era follow-up, Falling Angels, Tracy Chevalier's tale of artistic creation and late-medieval amours, The Lady and the Unicorn is a subtle study in social power, and the conflicts between love and duty.
		Chevalier, whose bestselling Girl with a Pearl Earring showed how a picture can inspire thousands of words, yokes her limpid, quietly enthralling storytelling to the six Lady and the Unicorn tapestries that hang in the Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris.
		Yet the genuine drama Chevalier orchestrates as the weavers race to complete the tapestries, and the deft way she herself weaves together each separate story strand, results in a work of genuine power and beauty.
