    Abstract



    Author of the greatest theatrical success of the French 17th century, Thomas Corneille (1625-1709) remains a relatively neglected writer. During a long career he tried his hand at all the dramatic genres: Spanish and French comedies, romantic and historical tragedies, a tragicomedy, opera libretti and machine plays. Elected to the French Academy, he was also a journalist, lexicographer and grammarian. This book is the third volume of a nine-volume "Complete Dramatic Works", aiming to place "the younger Corneille" within his period, straddling the careers of Pierre Corneille and Racine, by emphasising both his acceptance of conventional norms and his astonishing flexibility as a man of the theatre.
