About the author
Born in Paris on March 31, 1702, Barthélemy-Christophe Fagan was a French dramatist of the 18th century. Reference sources consistently identify him as a playwright, and he is often listed under the name Fagan de Lugny.
Library and bibliographic records describe him as a writer of comedies and parades for the Théâtre de la Foire, linking him to the popular, playful side of French stage life rather than to grand tragedy. His works were collected and published after his death, which suggests he had a recognized place in the theatrical world of his time.
Fagan died in Paris on April 28, 1755, at the age of 53. While biographical details are relatively scarce, his reputation as a comic playwright has remained clear enough for major reference sources and library catalogs to preserve his name and works.
