ROUGET DE LISLE, CLAUDE JOSEPH (176o-1836)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 770 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROUGET DE LISLE, CLAUDE JOSEPH (176o-1836) ,
French
  author, was
born
  on the loth of May 176o, at Lons-le-Saunier (Jura). He entered the army as an engineer, and attained the rank of captain. He was one of those authors whom a single
work
  has made famous. The song which has immortalized him, the Marseillaise, was composed at Strassburg, where Rouget de
Lisle
  was quartered in
April
  1792. He wrote both words and music in a fit of patriotic excitefnent after apublic dinner. The piece was at first called
Chant
  de guerre de l'armee du Rhin, and only received its name of Marseillaise from its adoption by the Provencal volunteers whom Barbaroux introduced into Paris, and who were prominent in the storming of the Tuileries. The author was a moderate republican, and was cashiered and thrown into prison; but the
counter
 -revolution set him at liberty. He died at
Choisy
 -le-Roi (Seine et Oise) on the 26th of June 1836. The stirring melody of the Marseillaise and its ingenious adaptation to the words serve to disguise the alternate poverty and bombast of the words them-selves. Rouget de
Lisle
  wrote a few other songs of the same
kind
 , and in 1825 he published Chants francais, in which he set to music fifty songs by various authors. His Essais en vers et en
prose
  (1797) contains the Marseillaise, a
prose
  tale of the sentimental
kind
  called Adelaide et Monville, and some occasional poems.
