Abstract

This article focuses on the problematic of the originality of the theatrical work of Louis-Benoît Picard (1769-1828). He repeatedly recognized that several sources of inspiration allowed the production of all his comedies to great success. The use of intertextuality as a methodological tool revealed in a text expose the relations of obvious or latent co-presence between several authors. This study clearly established that authors such as Molière, La Bruyère, Gresset, and Beaumarchais have had a major influence on the theatrical work of Picard. However, this is not without ignoring the influence of Picard himself on later literary productions. This intertextuality of Picard's work broadens the horizon of the decoding of its originality to decline in the effective adherence of his work to the cyclical changes that distinguish it from its predecessors. Keywords: Louis-Benoît Picard, theater, Originality, Sources of inspiration, Influence.
