Jean-François Collin d'Harleville, was a French dramatist. He was born at Mévoisins, near Maintenon (Eure-et-Loir). His first dramatic success was "L'Inconstant", a comedy accepted by the Comédie Française in 1780, but not produced there until six years later, though it was played elsewhere in 1784. This was followed by "L'Optimiste, ou l'homme toujours content" (1788), and "Châteaux en Espagne" (1789). Wikipedia
