Book Description
Tragedy by Pierre Corneille, first performed 1645, and remarkable for its powerful, if melodramatic, portrait of moral evil. The central character, Cléopâtre, queen of Syria, will sacrifice anything to retain power. Only she can decide between the rival claims of her twin sons, Antiochus and Séleucus, to inherit the throne; she promises her voice to whichever of the two will rid her of Rodogune, princess of Parthia, whose hand is destined to the new king. Both princes love Rodogune, but she confronts them with a terrible dilemma by promising love to whichever kills his mother. In desperation Cléopâtre kills Séleucus, the weaker of the twins, and prepares a poisoned cup for the wedding of Antiochus and Rodogune, but is forced into drinking it herself, and dies defiant. -- Answer.com.

Extrait : "LAONICE : Enfin ce jour pompeux, cet heureux jour nous luit, Qui d'un trouble si long doit dissiper la nuit, Ce grand jour où l'hymen, étouffant la vengeance, Entre le Parthe et nous remet l'intelligence, Affranchit sa princesse, et nous fait pour jamais Du motif de la guerre un lien de la paix ; Ce grand jour est venu, mon frère, où notre reine, Cessant de plus tenir la couronne incertaine, Doit rompre aux yeux de tous son silence obstiné, (...)"

Excerpt from Rodogune, Princesse des Parthes: Tragedie Point, qu'ils osaient se persuader que du siege de R0 croi dependait la prise de Paris; et l'avidite de leur ambition devorait deja le coeur d'un royaume dont ils pensaient avoir surpris les frontieres Cependant les premiers miracles de votre valeur renverserent si pleinement toutes leurs esperances, que ceux-la meme qui s'etaient promis tant de conquetes sur nous, virent terminer la campagne de cette meme annee par celles que vous fites sur eux. Ce fut par la, monseigneur, que vous commencates ces grandes victoires que vous avez toujours si bien choisies qu'elles ont honore deux regnes ala fois, comme si c'eut ete tr0p peu pour Votre Altesse d'etendre les bornes de l'etat sous celui-ci, si elle n'eut en meme tem efface quelques - uns des mal heurs qui s'etaient me es aux longues prosperites de l'autre. Thionville, Philisbourg et Norlinghen etaient des lieux funestes pour la France: elle n'en pouvait entendre les noms sans gemir elle ne pouvait y porter sa pensee sans soup'irer; et ces memes lieux, dont le souvenir lui arrachait des soupirs et des gemissements, sont devenus les eclatantes marques de sa nouvelle felicite, les dignes occasions de ces feux de joie, et les glorieux sujets des actions de graces qu'elle a rendues au ciel pour les triomphes'que votre courage invincible a obtenus. Dispenoez - moi monseigneur, de vous parler de Dunkerque j'epuise toutes les forces de mon ima gination, et je ne concois rien qui reponde a la dignite.

Book Description
While eighteenth-century playwright and critic Gotthold Ephraim Lessing made numerous contributions in his lifetime to the theater, the text that best documents his dynamic and shifting views on dramatic theory is also that which continues to resonate with later generations – the Hamburg Dramaturgy (Hamburgische Dramaturgie, 1767–69). This collection of 104 short essays represents one of the eighteenth century’s most important critical engagements with the theater and its potential to promote humanistic discourse. Lessing’s essays are an immensely erudite, deeply engaged, witty, ironic, and occasionally scathing investigation of European theatrical culture, bolstered by deep analysis of Aristotelian dramatic theory and utopian visions of theater as a vehicle for human connection. This is the first complete English translation of Lessing's text, with extensive annotations that place the work in its historical context. For the first time, English-language readers can trace primary source references and link Lessing’s observations on drama, theory, and performance not only to the plays he discusses, but also to dramatic criticism and acting theory. This volume also includes three introductory essays that situate Lessing’s work both within his historical time period and in terms of his influence on Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment theater and criticism. The newly translated Hamburg Dramaturgy will speak to dramaturgs, directors, and humanities scholars who see theater not only for entertainment, but also for philosophical and political debate.
