Morel

Morel (before 1783 – 1802), was a French 18th–19th-century playwright and writer of Comédie en vaudevilles. His first name has always been unknown. Morel's short career may suggest that he was the pseudonym of a more famous author unidentified to date. Joseph-Marie Quérard in his 1834 book La France Littéraire writes "MOREL, died in 1802, aged 19" with no further information and Léon Thiessé in his Essai biographique et littéraire "We have named Morel, who died in 1802 aged twenty-one from a chest disease, who left some nice songs, and a political work almost unknown".
