Subligny, Adrien Perdou de (1639-96). French dramatist and novelist. His works include La Folle Querelle (1668), which combines both parody and more substantial criticism of Andromaque, and a Dissertation sur la tragédie de Phèdre (1677). His La Fausse Clélie (1670), written in the satirical tradition of Cervantes and Sorel, has moments of insight into the dynamics of character which anticipate Challe's Illustres Françaises.
