Edmé Boursault
Edmé Boursault (October 163815 September 1701) was a French dramatist and miscellaneous writer, born at Mussy l'Evéque, now Mussy-sur-Seine (Aube). Biography On Boursault's first arrival in Paris in 1651 his language was limited to Burgundian, but within a year he had produced his first comedy, ''Le Mort vivant'' (Living Death). This and some other pieces of small merit secured for him distinguished patronage in the society ridiculed by Molière in the ''Ecole des femmes''. Boursault was persuaded that the Lysidas of that play was a caricature of himself, and attacked Molière in ''Le Portrait du peintre ou la contre-critique de l'Ecole des femmes'' (1663). Molière retaliated in ''L'Impromptu de Versailles'', and Boileau attacked Boursault in Satires 7 and 9. Boursault replied to Boileau in his ''Satire des satires'' (1669), but was afterwards reconciled to him, when Boileau on his side erased his name from his satires. Boursault obtained a considerable pension as editor o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Esmé (other)
Esmé (more commonly Esme) or Esmée is an English first name, from the past participle of the Old French verb '' esmer'', "to esteem", thus signifying "esteemed". Another theory is that ''esmer'' is an alternative spelling of today's ''aimer'', "to love", thus the name is ''aimé'', meaning "beloved", equivalent to the modern feminine first name "Amy". Originally a masculine name, Esme had become a feminine name by the mid-twentieth century. The name was first popularised by Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox (1542–1583), a French nobleman of Scottish origins who returned to Scotland for part of his life. However with regard to spelling (and pronunciation), on one of his surviving letters, dated 1583, he signed himself "Amy". Esme was among the 100 most popular baby names for girls in the UK in 2015. Esme is also used as a short form for the Spanish feminine name Esmeralda, meaning "emerald". Notable bearers Men In order of birth: * Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox (1542 ...
