Alphonse Signol

François-Nicolas Alphonse Signol,(Saint-Mandé c. 1800 – Vincennes, 26 June 1830) was an early 19th-century French playwright and novelist.

Biography

His plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of his time including the Théâtre des Variétés, the Théâtre des Nouveautés, and the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique. His novel Le Commissionnaire is sometimes attributed to George Sand and Jules Sandeau who allegedly used his name for promotion. [1]

He was killed in a duel against a military after an altercation at the Théâtre italien de Paris.
