Le tailleur et le fripier: transformations des personnages de la Comedia sur la scène française (1630-1660)

French plays of the mid-seventeenth century were much influenced by the theatre of the Spanish Golden Age: imitations and adaptations by playwrights such as Rotrou, Boisrobert and Scarron proliferated between 1630 and 1660. Yet although both traditions were based on similar principles such as propriety and verisimilitude, they nevertheless led to opposite concepts of dramatic illusion. French text.
