Jean-Baptiste Vivien de Châteaubrun

Jean-Baptiste Vivien de Châteaubrun (French pronunciation: ​[ʒɑ̃ batist vivjɛ̃ də ʃatobʁœ̃]; 1686, Angoulême - 16 February 1775, Angoulême) was a French dramatist and a member of the Académie française. He spent 40 years of his life polishing two plays, but his maid mistook them for wrapping paper, thus losing his life's work. Today, his work Les Troyennes (1734) survives.
