    Extractions: Pierre Corneille Born June 6, 1606 in Rouen, France, to a family of lawyers, Pierre Corneille would follow in his father's footsteps. Educated by the Jesuits, he studied law and then entered the Rouen parlement in 1629. He would serve as the king's counselor in the local office of the department of waterways and forests for 21 years, and remarkably, he still found the time to write 20 plays during this period. After his retirement from the legal profession, he would write 12 more. Although Corneille is considered by most critics to be the father of French tragedy, six of his first eight plays were comedies. His first play, , was presented by a strolling troupe that happened through Rouen in 1629. The play was well received, but it was not until was revived in Paris the following year that Corneille's career began to take off. He followed this initial offering with a series of comedies and tragicomedies including Clitandre La Veuve or The Widow La Galerie du Palais or The Palace Corridor La Suivante or The Maidservant La Place Royal (1634), and

    Biography of Pierre Corneille, the first great French dramatist.

    Extractions: This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama CORNEILLE'S first play, , was presented in Paris in 1629 and at once scored a popular success. Like the playwright's other early efforts it was full of the insipid love that was the mode of the moment. These first plays of Corneille's, however, insipid as they were, were far superior to any French plays that preceded them. It is to these very plays, in fact, that modern drama owes the happy invention of the soubrette. But when the epoch-making Cid appeared in 1636 it so far outshone anything that preceded it, that the earlier plays were practically disregarded. The critics and Corneille's contemporary writers waged around this revolutionary piece of dramatic writing as passionate a battle as raged around Hugo 's Hernani some two centuries later. The public, however, spoke with no uncertain voice, and from The Cid modern French drama dates. It is quite possible that much of the criticism of The Cid was due to an awkwardness inherent in the play itself. Corneille as a dramatist adhered rigidly to the classical tradition of the three unities. The plot of

    Extractions: PIERRE CORNEILLE (1606-1684) This article was originally published in A Short History of the Drama PIERRE Corneille's first works were comedies, and none too good; but when, at the age of thirty-one, he produced the Cid , there was erected an important landmark in the history of drama. The Cid , it will be remembered, was a Spanish hero of the twelfth century. His deeds were celebrated in many ballads and poems, and had been made the subject of a play by the Spanish . Corneille, conscious of the classic bent of French taste, adhered pretty closely to the so-called Aristotelian rules , yet contrived to produce a tragedy which, in depth of passion, poetic fervor and vigor, far surpassed anything that had so far been seen on the Parisian stage. Thus the first important French tragedy had for its subject a medieval though foreign fable, and was a compromise between the romantic and classic schools. Its spontaneousness and boldness were romantic in character; while the conduct of the struggle of the hero between love and duty, with the subordination of all other incidents, was decidedly in the classic spirit. The play was in many respects technically faulty; yet it stood, and still stands, the one practical test of a good play: it acts well. In 1635, two years before the appearance of the

    Extractions: Pierre Corneille. Pierre Corneille (June 6, 1606 – October 1, 1684) was a French tragedian who was one of the three great seventeenth century French dramatists, along with Molière and Racine . He has been called “the founder of French tragedy” and produced plays for nearly 40 years. In the sixteenth century, the French Renaissance developed alongside the continuation of medieval theater and especially the morality play . While ancient theater was re-introduced during the sixteenth century, it was not until the seventeenth century and the work of Corneille and Racine that the ancient tragedies would serve as models for French dramatists. They would go back beyond Christian models to Greek antiquity to re-introduce the ideas and characters of that pre-Christian, Hellenic world. Corneille was born at Rouen, France, to Marthe le Pesant and Pierre Corneille (a minor administrative official). He was given a rigorous Jesuit education and then began to study law at eighteen. His practical legal endeavors were largely unsuccessful. Corneille’s father secured two magisterial posts for him with the Rouen department of Forests and Rivers. During his time with the department, he wrote his first play. It is unknown exactly when the writing took place, but the play, the comedy

    Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help The fame of his "classical tetralogy" has tended to obscure the enormous variety of Corneille's other drama, and his contribution to the development of French comedy has not always received its proper due. The Roman plays were followed by more tragedies: Rodogune (1645), which was one of his greatest successes, (1646), which was his first taste of failure, and (1647). But in 1643 Corneille had successfully turned to comedy with Le Menteur, following it with the less successful La Suite du Menteur (1643-44). Both were lively comedies of intrigue, adapted from Spanish models; and Le Menteur is the one outstanding French comedy before the plays of , Corneille's young contemporary, who acknowledged its influence on his own work. Le Menteur, indeed, stands in relation to French classical comedy much as Le Cid does to tragedy. Don Sanche d'Aragon (1650), a spectacular play in which stage machinery was very important, and (1651) were all written during the political upheaval and civil war of the period known as the Fronde (1648-53), with

His grandfather, father, and an uncle were all lawyers; another uncle and a brother entered the church; his younger brother, Thomas , became a well-known poet and popular playwright. Pierre was educated at the Jesuit school in his hometown, won two prizes for Latin verse composition, and became a licentiate in law. From 1628 to 1650 he held the position of king's counselor in the local office of the department of waterways and forests. Corneille's first play, written before he was 20 and apparently drawing upon a personal love experience, was an elegant and witty comedy, first performed in Rouen in 1629. When it was repeated in Paris the following year, it built into a steady (and, according to Corneille, surprising) success. His next plays were comedies: Clitandre (performed 1631)

Educated by Jesuits, he practiced law briefly in his native Rouen and moved to Paris after the favorable reception of his first play, (1635), was followed by Le Cid (1637). This masterpiece, based on a Spanish play about the Cid Cid Horace Cinna (1640), and Polyeucte (1643). The comedy Le Menteur (1643) had great success. Corneille's tragedies exalt the will at the expense of the emotions; his tragic heroes and heroines display almost superhuman strength in subordinating passion to duty. At his best, Corneille was a master of the grand style, powerful and majestic. His last plays are marred by monotonous declamation. Corneille's old age was embittered by the rise of Racine, who replaced him in popular favor. See studies by D. A. Collins (1966) and H. T. Barnwell (1982).
