| Résumé : |
THE CID, THE WOULD-BE GENTLE MAN, PHAEDRA and ATHALIAH have out- lasted the limitations imposed by their time and are presently among the most popular examples of seventeenth-century French drama. Still playable and cer- tainly most readable, these four plays of heroism, socio-moral satire and frus trated passion undoubtedly will live for- ever. These works of Corneille, Molière and Racine, which reveal characters and situations so close to life, are so universal that they presaged the principal elements of our contemporary ideals and conflicts.
The comprehensive introduction by editor Helen A. Gaubert brings to light the colorful backgrounds of these three gigantic figures of the French theatre and the upsurge of history which in- spired them. |
