Corneille, Thomas (1625-1709)

French writer and dramatist, brother of Pierre Corneille. He wrote a number of comedies, but is best known for his tragedies. These include the highly successful Timocrate (1656), Stilicon, Camma, Maximien, La Mort d'Annibal, Ariane, and Le Comte d'Essex.

His comedies include Le Geôlier de soi-meme, Le Baron d'Albikrac, Don César d'Avalos, and Le Festin de Pierre (1677), a verse adaptation of Molière's Don Juan (1665).
