Descrizione del libro

The tragedies produced in France in the sixteenth century by writers such as Garnier, La Taille, and Jodelle are increasingly accessible in good modern editions. Their subject matter included Bible stories and recent history, as well as Greek legend and Roman history. Until now, scholars have tended to regard them as a staging post on the road to Corneille and Racine.
