Biography

He made his literary debut in 1776, with Fête des Muses, an à-propos in verse played at the Château de Versailles before the king and the court.[3] He met Buffon at the Jardin du Roi, where chevalier de Mouchy, of the House of Noailles, a novelist and correspondent of Voltaire, had led him. Having become familiar with him in Paris, he was his guest at Montbard, but was not, contrary to popular belief, his personal secretary.[1]

He stroke a friendship with the marquis Domenico Caracciolo, ambassador of the Kingdom of Naples in France. In 1781, he was appointed viceroy of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and took Aude with him. After he was appointed foreign minister in Naples, 1786, Aude returned to France and joined Buffon in Montbard.[1]

Chevalier Aude was honored with a letter from Frederick the Great. He was tied with Dorvigny, creator of the character Jocrisse [fr], and with Brunet, his favorite actor and had the honor of being played by Talma in 1790.[1]

He was said to be a dissipator, prodigal and drunkard because at the end of his life, he assiduously attended cabarets.[1]

Works

The Cadet Roussel series

• Cadet-Roussel, barbier à la Fontaine des Innocents : Folie en 1 acte
• Cadet-Roussel, ou le Café des aveugles : pièce en 2 actes qui n'en font qu'un, en vers et en prose. The play premiered at the Théâtre de la Cité on 12 February 1793.[1]
• L'École tragique, ou Cadet-Roussel maître de déclamation : comédie ou non, en 1 acte (in another version: Cadet-Roussel, professeur ... )
• Cadet-Roussel au jardin turc : facétie en 1 acte
• Cadet-Roussel aux Champs-Élysées, ou la Colère d'Agamemnon : vaudeville en 1 acte

He is however not the only author to have used "Cadet Roussel" as a character. Indeed, the CESAR database reports many Cadet Roussel, from the Cadet Roussel garçon d'auberge, by Prévost (Théâtre des Associés, 1784) to the École tragique ou Cadet Roussel maître de déclamation, by Aude (Théâtre de Montansier, Paris, August 1799) for the 18th century, then others during the 19th century such as Victor Hugo who, in his Ninety-Three, featured Danton ridiculing Robespierre who had just monopolized the floor for two hours at the National Convention:

Cadet Rousselle fait des discours (Cadet Roussel delivers speeches)

Qui ne sont pas longs quand ils sont courts. (which are not long when they are shorts)
