Barthélemy Imbert (16 March 1747 – 23 August 1790) was an 18th-century French playwright, poet and novelist.
After his studies in his home town,
Nîmes, Imbert moved to
Paris where he made his reputation with The Judgment of Pâris, a
poem in four songs in verses of ten syllables, published in 1772. A clever plan, a pleasant facility, a graceful elegance, made a quick success to this work. The author then wrote
comedies, tragedies,
novels, fables and tales in verse and prose, which fell into oblivion.
Works
1770: Poinsinet et Molière, dialogue dédié à M. Piron
