Edme Boursault (October 1638 – September 15, 1701) was a French dramatist and miscellaneous writer, born at Mussy l'Eveque, now Mussy-sur-Seine (Aube). On his first arrival in Paris in 1651 his language was limited to Burgundian language, but within a year he produced his first comedy, Le Mon vivant. This and some other pieces of small merit secured for him distinguished patronage in the society ridiculed by Moliere in the Ecole des femmes. Boursault was persuaded that the Lysidas of that play was a caricature of himself, and attacked Moliere in Le Portrait du peintre ou la contre-critique de l'Ecole des femmes (1663). Moliere 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 with him, when Boileau on his side erased his name from his satires.
