Synopsis
In this three-part study of the serious plays that Corneille wrote between 1630 and 1643, David Clarke first explores the Norman experience and identity of the dramatist himself., In this three-part study of the serious plays that Corneille wrote between 1630 and 1643, David Clarke first explores the Norman experience and identity of the dramatist himself. A second section reviews the principles and distinctiveness of his poetics in a period when literary activity, and particularly historical drama, became increasingly subject to central government pressures. The third and final section discusses the political and tragic significance of Corneille's plays and seeks to re-establish a link between their reflection of contemporary ideological tensions and the 'collective mind' of their intended audience with reference to popular, but now little-read, contemporary moralists and political theorists.

- c***c (575)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI did not receive the hardcover book I ordered, but instead received a beat up paperback with brown and crumbling pages. When I notified the seller of this condition I was ignored. I got in touch with them several times to no avail. I am very unhappy with this seller.
