Pierre-Laurent de Belloy was an 18^th-century French playwright who was relative popular during his lifetime. His popularity was rooted in his recurring themes of patriotism in his plays. One such example was his 1765 play ‘The Siege of Calais’. Following France’s defeat in the Seven Years’ War, the French public longed for promotion of French patriotism and Belloy delivered, even though more iconic figures like Voltaire were pessimistic regarding such plays.
