Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RAYNOUARD, FRANCOIS JUSTE MARIE (1761-1836) , French dramatist and savant, was born at Brignoles (
Provence
 ), on the 8th of September 1761. He was educated for the bar
and practised at Draguignan. In 1791 he went to Paris as
deputy
  to the Legislative Assembly, but after the fall of the Girondists, to whose party he was attached, he had to go into hiding. He was, however, discovered and imprisoned in Paris. During his imprisonment he wrote his play Caton d' Utique (1794). Eleonore de Bavieres and Les Templiers were accepted by the Comedie Francaise. Les Templiers was produced in 18o5, and, in spite of the protests of Geoffroy, had a
great
  success Raynouard was admitted to the
Academy
  in 1807, and from 1817 to 1826 he was perpetual secretary. He wrote other plays, in one of which, Les Etats de Blois (acted 181o), he gave offence to
Napoleon
  by his freedom of speech, but, realizing that the public
taste
  had changed and that the romanticists were to
triumph
 , he abandoned the stage and gave himself up to linguistic studies. He was admitted to the
Academy
  of
Inscriptions
  in 1815. His researches into the Provencal dialect were somewhat inexact, but his enthusiasm and per-severance promoted the study of the subject. His
chief
  works are Choix de poesies originales des troubadours (6 vols., 1816-1821), of which the
sixth
  volume, Grammaire comparee des langues de l'Europe latine Bans leurs rap ports avec la langue des troubadours (1821), was separately published; Lexique roman (6 vols., 1838-1844). He spent the last years of his life at Passy, where he died on the 27th of October 1836.
