Claude Boyer

Claude Boyer (1618 in Albi – 22 July 1698 in Paris) was a French clergyman, playwright, apologist and poet.

His classmate Michel Le Clerc, who like him wrote tragedies and was elected to the French Academy, became one of his closest friends.

Throughout his career some thirty plays, most of which were tragedies, experienced great success.

When one of the highest literary authorities of the seventeenth century, Jean Chaplain, composed around 1662 a paper on literary men of his time, he thought of Claude Boyer.
