    "Bouilly, Jean-Nicolas (b La Coudraye, nr Tours, 23/24 Jan 1763; d Paris, 25 April 1842). French librettist. He was born shortly after his father’s death, but was lovingly raised by his mother and his stepfather, a lawyer and professor of natural philosophy. Though aware of the boy’s talent for writing, the stepfather recommended law and Bouilly was duly presented at the bar of the Paris Parlément in 1787. The outbreak of the Revolution caused him to return to Tours, where he practised law and began to write theatre pieces. His first libretto, Pierre le Grand, found favour with the administration of the Opéra-Comique and with Mme Dugazon, a leading singer, who helped persuade Grétry to set it. […] Bouilly became engaged to Grétry’s daughter, Antoinette, but she died of tuberculosis before the wedding could take place.
    At the period of the Terror, Bouilly returned to Tours, where he became head of the Military Commission. […] In 1795 he returned to Paris, where he worked for the Committee of Public Instruction but left after three years to devote himself to writing."
