Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Dramatists of the 19th Century It is not yet sixty years since the Romanticists and the Classicists first met in battle-array; and it is but little more than fifty years since Hernani sounded his trumpet, and the hollow walls of Classicism fell with a final crash. This half-century is a period of no slight importance in the history of the drama: it is one of the two epochs when the plays of France have been conspicuously and incomparably superior to the plays of any other country; the earlier epoch was when the French stage saw in rapid succession the newest works of Corneille, of Molière, and of Racine. Although, with our ownership of Shakspere constantly in mind, we may not be willing to allow that the French have reached the highest pinnacle of the drama, we can see clearly enough that it is in the drama that they have mounted highest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...the first-fruits of this new philosophy, the preacher fortunately has not yet overmastered the playwright. The piece is a marvel of polemic literature, a model in the art of teaching by example. Mr. John Morley instances it as one of the very few modern plays which Diderot would recognize as belonging to the genre strieux, which began with his own ' Pere de Famille.' It treats an important subject honestly and with intellectual seriousness: there is none of the petty begging of the question which disfigures two other works on the same subject, --the 'Fernande' of M. Victorien Sardou, and the ' New Magdalen' of Mr. Wilkie Collins; both clever men, lacking, however, in the courage and the candor needed to face the problem fairly. There is a fourth work of fiction, published not long after M. Dumas's, which approaches the subject with the same appreciation of its demands and its difficulties. This is a novel, ' Hedged In, ' by Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, as representatively New England as the ' Idees de Madame Aubray' is French. It is of course a mere paradox to say that M. Dumas, since his regeneration, appears to me as a typical New-Englander; but he has something of the New-England spirit, and he stands at times in the New-England attitude. He recalls, in a way, both Nathaniel Hawthorne and Oliver Wendell Holmes. His theology is in essence Unitarian. I have before made mention of his very New-England knack of biblical quotation; and, as his recent volume on divorce shows, he is as prone to search the Scriptures for a text wherewith to smite his adversary, as any of those chips of Plymouth Rock who "take to the ministry mostly." Without pushing the analogy too far, we can see it stand out plainly when we set the ' Idees de Madame Aubray'...

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Drama of France This volume Offers a survey and an interpretation of the French drama for three decades, fromothe opening of the theatre-libre Of Antoine to the conclusion Of the World War. It attempts the classification, analysis, and criti cism of a thousand plays by two hundred and thirty authors. Among these are included a few Belgians whose pieces, written in French, have been as familiar to Paris as to Brussels. Although the productions of the period be less striking than those of the Romantic era, and less likely than those of the Classic to endure, they are more numerous and more vitally interesting to the generation whose failures, foibles, and aspirations they depict.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the French Classical Drama IF we assume with the large majority of French critics that the seventeenth century was the time in which French art most truly reflected the ideal qualities of the French nation as a whole, we Shall be anxious to discover in the literature of that century what it is that marks it ofi from the pseudo-classical literature of the age of Anne in England, and why the Siecle d'or is a truer epithet as applied to France than the Augustan age as applied to England.

Download or read book Mormons in Paris written by Corry Cropper and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 Best International Book Award from the Mormon History Association In the late nineteenth century, numerous French plays, novels, cartoons, and works of art focused on Mormons. Unlike American authors who portrayed Mormons as malevolent “others,” however, French dramatists used Mormonism to point out hypocrisy in their own culture. Aren't Mormon women, because of their numbers in a household, more liberated than French women who can't divorce? What is polygamy but another name for multiple mistresses? This new critical edition presents translations of four musical comedies staged or published in France in the late 1800s: Mormons in Paris (1874), Berthelier Meets the Mormons (1875), Japheth’s Twelve Wives (1890), and Stephana’s Jewel (1892). Each is accompanied by a short contextualizing introduction with details about the music, playwrights, and staging. Humorous and largely unknown, these plays use Mormonism to explore and mock changing French mentalities during the Third Republic, lampooning shifting attitudes and evolving laws about marriage, divorce, and gender roles.

Download or read book French Without a Master written by Tristan Bernard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Without a Master: A Face in One Act Tristan Bernard stands in much the same relation to contemporary French drama as George Cohan does to that of our own country: in his comedies the most amusing types of the society of the day are set forth with a good-humor and freshness which gives them an individual charm all their own. Many of his numerous plays are broad farces, but there is a philosophical strain running throughout which raises them out of the realm of the purely theatrical. In "On nait esclave" (Born Slaves) and "Le Petit Cafe" ("The Little Cafe"), for example, we find a serious comment on life; this, however, never interferes with the joyous course of the comedy, but rather forms a background. One of Bernard's earliest plays was "L'Anglais tel qu'on le parle," which is here (necessarily, on account of the fact that English is used in the original text as a foreign language) adapted, for the first time in English. The cleverness of the plot, the character of the interpreter, the brightness of the dialogue, have caused the little farce to be retained in the repertory of the Comedie Fran aise, where it is performed many times every year, with ever-increasing popularity. Chanoine-Malherbe and Seraphine should speak good French, or at least some approximation which shall sound fluent and easy to the audience. Amateurs are urged not to over-act: this play is one which can easily be over-accentuated. Percy, in particular, should behave throughout as a very quiet and phlegmatic person.
