Antoine de Rivarol (26 June 1753 – 11 April 1801) was a Frenchroyalist writer and translator who lived during theRevolutionary era.[1][2][3] He was briefly married to the translatorLouisa Henrietta de Rivarol.

Biography

[edit]

Rivarol was born inBagnols, Languedoc. It appears that his father, an innkeeper, was a cultivated man. The son assumed the title ofcomte de Rivarol, asserting a connection with the noble Italian family Riveroli, although his enemies said his name was really "Riverot" and that he was not of noble stock.[4] He went to Paris in 1777 and won several academic prizes.[5]

In 1780 he married Louisa Henrietta de Rivarol, a translator of Scottish descent. She had translated some works bySamuel Johnson and Johnson had become a friend of her family. Antoine Rivarol abandoned his wife after a short relationship which resulted in the birth of a son.[6] To Rivarol's embarrassment, a nurse who supported his abandoned wife was awarded theMontyon Prize for her humanity. He was divorced in 1784.[6]

In 1784, hisDiscours sur l'Universalité de la Langue Française and his translation ofDante'sInferno were favourably noted.[7][8] The year before theFrench Revolution broke out, he andChampcenetz published alampoon, titledPetit Almanach de nos grands hommes pour 1788, that ridiculed without pity a number of writers of proven or future talent, along with a great many nobodies.[9]

Rivarol was the foremost journalist, commentator andepigrammatist among that faction of aristocrats which was most stalwartlyconservative: he heaped scorn uponrepublicanism and defended theAncien Régime.[10][11]

Rivarol's writing was published in theJournal Politique ofAntoine Sabatier de Castres and theActes des Apotres ofJean Gabriel Peltier. He left France in 1792, first settling inBrussels, then moving successively to London, Hamburg, andBerlin, where he died. Rivarol's rivals in France – in sharp conversational sayings – includedAlexis Piron andNicolas Chamfort.

His brother,Claude François Rivarol (1762–1848), was also an author. His works include a novel,Isman, ou le Fatalisme (1795); a comedy,Le Véridique (1827); and the historyEssai sur les Causes de la Révolution Française (1827).

He died as exile inBerlin and was interred in theDorotheenstadt cemetery, but the site of his grave was soon forgotten.[12]
