Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BECQUE, HENRY FRANCOIS (1837-1899) ,
French
  dramatist, was
born
  on the 9th of
April
  1837 in Paris. He wrote the
book
  of an
opera
  Sardanapale in imitation of Lord Byron for the music of M. Victorin Joncieres in 1867, but his first important
work
 ,
Michel
  Pauper, appeared in 1870. The importance of this sombre drama was first realized when it was revived at the Odeon in 1886. Les Corbeaux (1882) established Becque's position as an innovator, and in 1885 he produced his most successfulplay, La Parisienne. Becque produced little during the last years of his
life
 , but his disciples carried on the tradition he had created. He died in May 1899.
See his Querelles litteraires (1890), and Souvenirs d'un auteur dramatique (1895), consisting chiefly of reprinted articles in which he does not spare his opponents. His Theatre complet (3 vols., 1899) includes L'Enfant prodigue (
Vaudeville
  Theatre, 6th of Nov. 1868) ;
Michel
  Pauper (Theatre de la
Porte
 -Saint-Martin, 17th of June 187o) ; L'Enlevement (
Vaudeville
 , 18th of Nov. 1871) ; La Navette (Gymnase, 15th of Nov. 1878) ; Les Honnetes Femmes (Gymnase, 1st of Jan. 188o) ; Les Corbeaux (Comedic Frangaise, 14th of Sept. 1882) ; La Parisienne (Theatre de la Renaissance, 7th of Feb. 1885).
