About this book

Barrett H. Clark's preface to this 1919 translation sets Romain Rolland's two plays inside his work for a people's theatre. It notes that the author of Jean-Christophe wrote at least sixteen full-length plays, and recalls his two years in Rome from 1890, a visit to Bayreuth, and the thesis he defended at the Sorbonne in 1895 on the origins of the modern lyric theatre. The plays themselves, Le 14 Juillet and Danton, take up the storming of the Bastille and the fall of Georges Danton.
