About Edmond Rostand

Edmond EugÃ¨ne Alexis Rostand (1868-1918) was a French poet and dramatist. He is associated with neo-romanticism and is known best for his play Cyrano de Bergerac. Rostand's plays contrasted with the naturalistic theatre popular during the late nineteenth century and provided a final, very belated example of Romantic drama in France.

YET ANOTHER READING, December 15, 2009 I forced my class to read this book for their reading time, which is usually reserved for personal reading time. They loved it. I can't think of a better endorsement. No other book I know of can get the full enthusiasm of both an English teacher and a classroom fu......more
