Pierre Fligneau

Died in 1840

Pierre Fligneau is known for a single play, which he had performed in 1804, the year Haiti became independent. He is placed in the so-called period of the pioneers, from 1804 to 1836, alongside Antoine Dupré, Juste Chanlatte and Jules Solime Milscent, and is given as having died in 1840, with no year of birth. The Larousse names him without a first name; Frénand Léger, on Potomitan, calls him Pierre Fligneau, as does the index of a history of Haitian literature published in Cambridge, which refers to him for several pages.
