Morel (vaudevillist)

Morel, born before 1783 – died in 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".
