Georges de Scudéry (1601–1667)

Scudéry, Georges de (skü-dār-ē’). A French poet, brother of Madeleine; born at Havre, 1601; died at Paris, May 14, 1667. He wrote many dramas, all now forgotten with the possible exception of ‘Tyrannic Love.’ His epic of ‘Alaric’ (1654) was severely scored by Boileau for its bombastic style.
