Le Barbier de Séville (1775) and Le Mariage de Figaro (1784), the comic plays, best-known works of French writer Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, inspired Gioacchino Antonio Rossini and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to operas.

Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a musician, diplomat, horticulturalist, satirist, and American revolutionary, made watches, invented, inventor, fled, spied, published, dealt arms, and financed.

Born a son to a provincial watchmaker , Beaumarchais rose in society as an influential inventor and music teacher in the court of Louis XV. He made a number of important business and social contacts in various roles as a diplomat and spy,and earned a considerable fortune before a series of costly court battles jeopardized his reputation.

An early supporter of American independence, Beaumarchais lobbied the government on behalf of the rebels during the war of independence. From the Spanish government, Beaumarchais oversaw covert aid to supply arms and financial assistance to the rebels in the years before formal entry of into the war in 1778. He personally invested money in the scheme but later struggled to recover it . Beaumarchais also participated in the early stages of the revolution. People probably remember especially his three theatrical pieces.

Jean-Pierre de Beaumarchais, a contemporary female, linearly descended.

Pas totalement dénué d'intérêt dans la mesure où la pièce est précédée de l'essai "sur le genre dramatique sérieux " , elle constitue également un évènement dans sa temporalité et ses conditions d'énonciation .

Le texte paraitra ennuyeux et dépolitisé pour un lecteur contemporain ..
