Gillet de La Tessonerie's tragi-comedy is an unusual example in French seventeenth-century theatre of a 'play within a play'. The play has not been reprinted since 1645 and is an important example of diversity in early French classical theatre.

Trade Review


“Providing full textual notes and bibliography, Chaplin admirably continues the tradition of Exeter French Texts in making available a play which is original and unusual, and which broadens our knowledge of seventeenth-century theatrical taste.” (Modern Language Review, Issue 98 No. 4, 2003)
