La Journee des Dupes, piece tragi-politi-comique; d. chronological table, index. First Edition, 1921. "The author attempts to trace the development of comedie, tragedie, and drame in France in the 18th century and thus to define the relation between the dramatic art of the 17th and 19th centuries. It will be seen that during the period from 1690 onwards drame gradually superseded classical comedy and tragedy, and that when those two genres revived toward the end of the century, they were both tinctured with the manner of the drame serieux. During the years of Revolution, serious drama took on a political colour, while the Mapoleonic wars were fatal for the time to any new inspiration. The drama of the Romantic movement, together with the theories that accompanied that movement, will bw seen to have had their roots in the dramatic experiments of the 18th century." from the jacket flap.
