Claude Emmanuel Lhuillier Chapelle (1626–1686)
Chapelle, Claude Emmanuel Lhuillier, called (shä-pel’). A French poet (1626–86). He was illegitimate son of a man of wealth, who gave him an excellent education and left him a large fortune. He owes his place in literary records to his good fortune in having been associated with the foremost literary men of his time,—Racine, Molière, Boileau. He wrote some verses of indifferent merit; with Bachaumont he was joint author of ‘Travels in Provence and Languedoc’ (1663), written in mixed prose and verse.
