Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern French Drama That modern England possessed a stage, supported by dramatic writers of ability, independence, and originality. When the papers on the English Stage first appeared in book form, I asked M.

The conditions in the two cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book La Pierre de Touche written by Émile Augier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Pierre De Touche: A Comedy Modern French playwrights commit another literary sin which stands in an odd paradoxical relation to the sin of preaching out of place. They deal, to sickening excess, with subjects and characters which, it is to be hoped, do not yet fill so large a space in French life as they do in French books. Let us take them at their word when they say that their purpose is to represent life as it really is. Are one-third of the women in France adventuresses? Certainly not; yet adventuresses make up about one-third of the number of female characters in modern French plays and novels. Is the subject of adultery and amorous in trigue the main occupation of French minds? Let us hope not; yet in these books there are scarcely more than two subjects seriously considered. The first, and chief one, is vice of this sort the second is the relation between the old nobility of blood and the new oligarchy of money.

Fillon's Essays on the French Drama seem to require no other introduction to a British public than can be contained in a formal explanatory note. Those who have read M. Filon's books, his studies of prominent English statesmen, his novels, above all, his essays on the modern English stage, originally contributed to the Revue des Deux Mondes, will know how keen and clear is his critical insight and how skilful is the manipulation of his materials in order to produce the impression which he desires.

Download or read book Hernani written by Victor Hugo and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hernani: A Drama The text of this edition is the same as that of the definitive, Paris, 1880. The unusual length of the introduction will be pardoned, it is hoped, in view of the paucity of general reviews of modern French literature that are available for students in schools and some colleges. It contains the matter which I should require a class of my own to get up for examination in connection with reading this play or any other of Hugo's works. The Historical Note is a necessity, and is introduced before the play to save students from confusion and waste of time. Mr. H. A. Perry and Dr. John E. Matzke, in their editions of Hernani, have so thoroughly annotated it that it has been impossible to avoid the appearance of following them very closely and there are indeed several notes for which I am directly indebted to them. Without their indications, I should in other cases have been obliged to spend a great deal more time in looking up references than has been necessary, It would be unfair to Dr. Matzke, in particular, not to pay tribute to the completeness of his notes, which leave his successor little chance for originality.
