Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Language Notes, Vol. 30 The Dates Of Corneille´s Early Plays In dating the plays that Corneille wrote before the Cid most modern scholars have accepted conclusions of the frères Parfaict, Marty-Laveaux, and a few other writers, without thoroughly testing them with recently discovered facts concerning Corneille´s contemporaries and the stage for which they wrote. The following table gives the dates assigned to the first representations of his first eight plays by the freres Parfaict, Marty-Laveaux, and Lan-son, as well as the date of each play´s privilege and achevé d´imprimer. To estimate the correctness of these dates, let us turn first to the evidence given by Corneille himself. His statements as to the length of time he has been writing help us little, for in 1660 he calls this period thirty years, in 1668 forty, in 1682 fifty. They indicate merely that he began to write about 1628-1632. But he does render us valuable assistance when he states that Melite was his first play, that Clitandre was written after a visit to Paris which followed the first representations of Mélite, that by March 13, 1634, he had written six plays, and that the order of the composition of his plays is that of their position in the first edition of his collected plays. From these facts it is evident that Melite and Clitandre were acted before March 8, 1632, date of the latter´s privilege, that the Veuve, Galerie, Suivante, Place royale were composed in this order before March 13, 1634, and that Médée and the Illusion comique appeared before the first representation of the Cid, which took place in December, 1636, or January, 1637. These facts seem certain. Let us now consider the plays separately. 1. Melite. Fontcnelle´s date, 1625, is entirely inconsistent with other dates in Corneille´s career, as will appear from the following discussion.
