SCHELANDRE, JEAN DE (c. 1585-1635)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 316 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCHELANDRE, JEAN DE (c. 1585-1635) , Seigneur de Saumazenes, French poet, was born about 1585 near Verdun of a Calvinist family. He studied at the university of Paris and then joined
Turenne
 's army in Holland, where he gained rapid
advancement
 . He was the author of a tragedy, Tyr et Sidon, ou les funestes amours de Belcar et Meliane, published in 16o8 under the anagram-name Daniel d'Ancheres, and reprinted with numerous changes in 1628 under the author's own name. In
defiance
  of all rules the action proceeds alternately at Tyre, where Belcar, prince of Sidon, is a prisoner, and at Sidon where Leonte, prince of Tyre, is a prisoner and pursues his gallant adventures. The play, which was divided into two days and ten acts, had a complicated
plot
  and contained 5000 lines. It required an immense stage on which the two towns shouldbe represented, with a field between, where the contests should take place. It is noteworthy as an attempt to introduce the liberty of the Spanish and
English
  drama into France, thus anticipating the romantic revolt of the 19th
century
 . It has been suggested that
Schelandre
  was directly acquainted with Shakespearian drama, but of this there is no direct proof, although he appears to have spent some time in England and to have seen James I. Tyr et Sidon is reprinted in the 8th volume of the Ancien Theatre francais.
Schelandre
  was also the author of a Stuartide (16 r 1), and of Les Sept Excellents Travaux de la penitence de Saint Pierre (1636). He pursued his military career to the end of his
life
 , dying at Saumazenes in 1635 from wounds received in the German campaign of Louis d'
Epernon
 , Cardinal de la Valette.
See Ch. Asselineau, Jean de Schelandre (Paris, 1854).
