Joseph Fiévée (1767–1839)
Fiévée, Joseph (fyā-vā’). A French political writer and journalist; born in Paris, April 9, 1767; died there, May 1839. His experiences during the French Revolution were not happy, largely in consequence of his work ‘On the Necessity of a Religion’ (1795); but the Napoleonic rule proved more favorable to him. He produced ‘Suzette’s Dowry’ and ‘Frederick,’ two rather colorless fictions, besides a variety of historical works on aspects of the republic, consulate, and empire.
