Delphine & Natty's opinion

This is the story of Gabriel Legouvé (1764-1812), a playwright who was highly regarded during the Revolution and the Empire and who also enjoyed dabbling in poetry. He was a regular at Josephine's salon during the Consulate. Self-effacing and shy, prone to melancholy, it was necessary to insist that he agree to read one of his poems aloud. The publication of his long poem "The Merit of Women," which is included in the dance card we are presenting to you, was a bookstore success.
Controlled and certified object.
