Arnault, ANTOINE VINCENT, French poet, was born in Paris in 1766, suffered four years' exile as an Imperialist (1815–19), and died, secretary of the Academy, near Havre, 16th September 1834. A rigid classicist, he produced seven dramas—the best Les Vénitiens (1799), but all inferior to his Fables et Poésies (1812), and Souvenirs d'un Sexagénaire (1833).
