Charles Dufresny, Sieur de la Riviere , fut d'abord un personnage, quoique son origine mysterieuse et romanesque, sa vie d'aventurier sedentaire et une capucinade finale n'expliquent pas toute l'existence de ce bourgeois du Marais ne d'une famille de petits officiers de Cour. Joueur, inventeur et homme d'esprit cultivant l'originalite parfois avec entetement, Dufresny rejoignit, quand il se mela d'ecrire aux abords de l'age mur, la coterie formee autour de La Motte et de Fontenelle. Ce monde encore mal etudie donne le ton et lachaine secrete du livre que Francois Moureau consacre a l'oeuvre dramatique de Dufresny. Principal fournisseur de la Comedie-Italienne entre 1692 et 1697, debutant, en meme temps, a la Comedie-Francaise pour y poursuivre une carriere mediocrement heureuse jusqu'a sa mort, Dufresny a eu l'ambition de ne pas etre un simple successeur de Moliere. Son theatre, d'une grande variete, annonce aussi bien l'opera-comique que le drame bourgeois; il est, a cote d'oeuvres plus conventionnelles, un laboratoire dramaturgique exceptionnel. Classe parmi les minores qui avaient trop de talent pour etre meprises et pas assez d'oeuvres achevees pour convaincre de leur genie, embarrasse de voisinages prestigieux, Dufresny meritait qu'on essayat de lui donner la place qui lui est due dans ces decennies ou se preparaient les Lumieres.
