Léonor Jean Soulas d'Allainval

Léonor Jean Soulas d'Allainval, called abbé d'Allainval ( Léonor-Jean-Christin Soulas; born 2 October 1696, Chartres, Orléanais – died 2 May 1753, Hôtel-Dieu de Paris), was an 18th-century French playwright.

Life D'Allainval lived his life in misery and died an indigent, according to Jean Baudrais.Petite Bibliotheque des théâtres, Paris, vol. 7, 1785 (pg. 107)

None of his plays were successful, except for a very short time his first comedy, L'Embarras des richesses, played four times in Paris during his lifetime and later considered a comedy "well conducted and well untied" and "one of his best works".Chefs-d'œuvre des auteurs comiques, vol. III, 1872, mentioned by Albert Cim, Récréations littéraires, Hachette, Paris, 1920 (pg. 62)

Only L'École des bourgeois brought him posthumous fame. Presented for the first time at the Comédie-Française in 1728, the play was revived only sixteen years after his death and played intermittently between 1769 and 1848. In 1854, it inspired Émile Augier and Jules Sandeau a new comedy which was like a sequel.Émile Augier et Jules Sandeau, Le Gendre de M. Poirier, four-act comedy, in prose, premiered at Paris at Théâtre du Gymnase, 8 April 1854.
