About the author
Born in Paris in October 1698 and deceased there in June 1757, Pierre Gallet was a French poet, chansonnier, and dramatist. Library and reference records identify him as an author active in France during the first half of the 18th century.
He is especially associated with light verse and songs, and later bibliographic records connect his name with collections of convivial and comic chansons. He is also linked to the Caveau, the well-known Parisian singing and literary society that brought together writers and songmakers.
Some modern reference pages about him are brief or incompletely sourced, so the surviving picture is limited. Even so, he stands out as one of those writers whose reputation rests on wit, performance, and the lively culture of salons and song gatherings rather than on a single famous book.
