Theatre Francais. Tome I - Paperback

by Charles de La Riviere Dufresny (Author), Matthieu Franchin (Editor), Jeanne-Marie Hostiou (Editor)

Through some forty plays, Charles de la Riviere du Fresny (1657-1724) proved a moralist under a veneer of flippancy; his comedies sometimes come close to serious drama. He also had a fondness for vocal music, and inserted in his plays songs that he sometimes had composed himself.
