Notwithstanding the light recently thrown in France upon the development of her old literature, especially that of the Middle Ages, no English writer has thought fit to illustrate, at least upon anything like a comprehensive scale, the rise and progress of the theatre in Paris. In the present work an attempt is made to partly redeem that deficiency, and a want of all the leisure needed for the task has not prevented the author from carefully verifying his statements, from inquiring into opinions of question able soundness, and from studying for himself the important plays which he has ventured to criticize.

Download or read book Dramatic Theory and Practice in France 1690 1808 Classic Reprint written by Eleanor F. Jourdain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Theory and Practice in France 1690-1808 It will be seen that during the period from 1690 onwards drame gradually superseded classical comedy and tragedy, and that when these two genres revived toward the end of the century, they were both tinctured with the manner of the drame serieux. During the years of Revolution, serious drama took on a political colour, while the Napoleonic wars were fatal for the time to any new inspiration. The drama of the Romantic movement, together with the theories that accompanied that movement, will be seen to have had their roots in the dramatic experiments of the eighteenth century. A detailed study of certain plays of the Revolution period will be found in the Appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
