Édition critique avec une présentation et des notes par Jacques Carral
LE FRANC DE POMPIGNAN JEAN-JACQUES
This is the critical edition of Jean-Jacques Le Franc’s work Didon, one of the best known French tragedies of the 18th century. First published in 1734 then reedited in 1746, the present edition presented by Jacques Carral situates Didon in the context of the history of literature and theatre of the Age of Enlightenment and then compares the two versions by focusing on the quality of their writing.
