About
Bernard-Joseph Saurin was a French lawyer, poet, and playwright. Attracted to literature, and frequenting the Society of the Caveau, he became a lawyer at Parliament, a career which he did not like, but endured for fifteen years in order to support his family. His professional life in the theatre began when he was forty. He translated some English works into French, and saw some of his works translated in turn into English. Among the better known of his plays was Béverlei, a tragedy.
