Nicolas Fallet

Nicolas Fallet (10 September 1746, Langres – 22 December 1801, Paris) was an 18th-century French playwright and journalist.

The son of a hatter, Fallet wrote quite a number of forgotten items, some of which were not without merit.

The tragedy Tibère, in which Fallet altered the nature of his hero by trying to make him less odious than he actually was, had only ten performances. However, it has been parodied as if it had been a great success.

Mathieu ou les Deux Soupers, was not more fortunate. That play reducet to two acts became Les Deux Tuteurs and then obtained some success.

Fallet provided many articles to the Dictionnaire universel, historique et critique des mœurs, lois, usages et coutumes civiles, published in 1772, 4 vol. in-8°. He collaborated with the Gazette de France, then the Journal de Paris, and was a very committed supporter of the Almanach des Muses. He also cooperated to the Dictionnaire historique et critique des mœurs, lois, usages et coutumes civiles, 1772, 4 vol. in-8°
