Three moments of history are evoked: the carefree search for pleasure in the ancien régime, tension and unrest as this order approaches its end, and the struggle to create a new world after the revolution. Beaumarchais used all the theatrical resources of his age and experimented with new ones in order to express the complexity of a rapidly changing world. In addition to the plays, this volume includes commentary by the author on his art.' 'With all the complementary documentation... together with an illustrated theater history.' Comedies which later inspired operas by Rossini and Mozart. Paper; new from publisher. stock#102009.
