Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Histoire de la Litterature Francaise, Vol. 3
On demandait, apres Corneille, des heros qui fussent plus des hommes, des femmes qui fussent moins des heros. On voulait une plus grande part pour le coeur, et une langue, sinon plus belle que celle des beaux endroits de Corneille, du moins plus exacte 1 que celle de ses pieces faibles, et, en general, plus pure et plus egale.
