La Morlière, Charles‐Jacques‐Louis‐Auguste Rochette de

La Morlière, Charles‐Jacques‐Louis‐Auguste Rochette de (1701–85),
French writer. In addition to several novels and plays, he is attributed with authorship of Angola, histoire indienne, ouvrage sans vraisemblance (Angola, an Indian Story and an Implausible Work, 1746). This work's fairy‐tale plot is used to satirize with considerable viciousness society life, the nobility, and the bourgeoisie of 18th‐century Paris. Its critique of the period's barriers to social mobility are distinctly pre‐Revolutionary in tone.

Lewis C. Seifert
