| | Claude Joseph Dorat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | He was born in Paris, of a family consisting of generations of lawyers, and he joined the corps of the kings musketeers. |
 | | He tried to cover his failures as a dramatist by buying up large numbers of seats for performances, and his books were lavishly illustrated by good artists and expensively produced, in order to secure their success. |
 | | Nevertheless, he managed to attract hatred both of the philosophe party as well as of their arch-enemy, Charles Palissot, and thus cut himself off from the possibility of academic honours. |
