Historical Dictionary of French Theater Hardback
by Edward Forman
Part of the Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts series
Hardback
Description
The term "French theater" evokes most immediately the glories of the classical period and the peculiarities of the Theater of the Absurd.
It has given us the works of Corneille, Racine, and Moliere.
In the Romantic era there was Alexander Dumas and surrealist works of Alfred Jarry, and then the Theater of the Absurd erupted in rationalistic France with Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, and Jean-Paul Sartre. The Historical Dictionary of French Theater relates the history of the French theater through a chronology, introduction, bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on authors, trends, genres, concepts, and literary and historical developments that played a central role in the evolution of French theater.
