Biography
1741-1794
French journalist, playwright, and aphorist
Chamfort's birth parents are not known for certain, but may have been Jacqueline de Montrodeix and her lover. He was adopted by a grocer, François Nicolas, and his wife. After a good education he began to write and became very well known as a playwright and conversationalist and associate of la Fontaine, and was elected to the French Academy. He was an early convert to the ideals of the French Revolution but balked at the excesses of the Terror.
