Corneille, Pierre (1606-1684).
THEATRE CHOISI. Novelle Edition, ornee de 4 portraits en pied colories.
443 p. + Four color lithographed plates by Geoffroy. Foxed. 12mo. 18.5 cm. All edges gold. Beautiful original crimson gold bindings. Morocco leather backs over leather-like cloth boards. The spines tooled in compartments with gold 'player's mask' faces. Corneille was a French dramatist, ranking with Racine as a master of French classical tragedy. Educated by Jesuits, he practiced law briefly in his native Rouen and moved to Paris after the favorable reception of his first play, Melite (1629), a comedy. His first tragedy, Medee (1635), was followed by Le Cid (1637). This masterpiece, based on a Spanish play about the Cid, took Paris by storm; "beautiful as the Cid" became a French proverb. However, Jean Chapelain composed a paper for the newly founded French Academy that attacked the play as plagiaristic and faulty in construction, and thereafter Corneille adhered to classical rules. Among the finest of his score of tragedies that followed are Horace (1640), 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 (not represented here) are marred by monotonous declamation. Corneille's old age was embittered by the rise of Racine, who replaced him in popular favor [Columbia Encyclopedia].SW3

Tragedie. Early ownership. From the Library of Edwin Wolf II. Thomas Corneille (1625-1709) was a French dramatist and scholar, born in Rouen nineteen years after his famous brother Pierre. After his brother's death, Thomas succeeded his vacant chair in the Academie Francaise. He then turned his attention to philology. In 1704 he lost his sight and was constituted a 'veteran,' a dignity which gave him the privileges of an academician, while exempting him from the duties. He did not allow his blindness to put a stop to his work, however, and in 1708 produced a large Dictionnaire universel geographique et historique in three volumes folio. This was his last major work. His Timocrate boasted of the longest run (80 nights) recorded of any play during the century. SCARCE. SAFE ADD 1
