| Summary | "Œuvres de P. Corneille, Tome 03" by Pierre Corneille is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 17th century. This volume features some of Corneille's renowned plays, including his famous tragedy "Le Cid." The text explores themes of honor, love, and the complexity of human relationships, presenting characters such as Rodrigue and Chimène, whose passionate and tumultuous interactions serve as a central focus. The opening of this volume provides insight into the background and significance of "Le Cid," recounting its creation and the impact it had upon its release. The narrative begins with a commentary on the influence of M. de Chalon, who encouraged Corneille to explore Spanish subjects for dramatization. It details Corneille's initial studies and inspirations taken from Spanish literature, leading to the crafting of a masterpiece that garnered widespread acclaim and sparked debate about its adherence to the rules of drama. The piece gained immense popularity at the court and in Paris, despite facing criticism from contemporaries, highlighting both its dramatic merits and the controversies surrounding its stylistic choices.
