He was born at Carcassonne. His surname was "Fabre", the "d'Églantine " being added in commemoration of his receiving the golden eglantine of Clémence Isaure from the academy of the floral games (jeux Floraux) at Toulouse. After travelling in the provinces as an actor, he came to Paris, where he produced an unsuccessful comedy entitled Les Gens de lettres, ou le provincial à Paris (1787). A tragedy, Augusta, produced at the Théâtre Français, also proved a failure. One only of his plays, Philinte, ou la suite du Misanthrope (1790), still preserves its reputation. It is supposed to be a continuation of Molière's Misanthrope, but the hero of the piece is a different character from the nominal prototype--a pure and simple egotist. On its publication, the play was introduced by a preface, in which the author mercilessly satirises the Optimiste of his rival Jean François Collin d'Harleville, whose Châteaux en Espagne had gained the applause which Fabre's Présomptueux (1789) had failed to win. The character of Philinte had much political significance. Alceste received the highest praise, and evidently represents the citizen patriot, while Philinte is a dangerous aristocrat in disguise.
