About the Book

Extrait: Adresse À Madame de La Maisonfort Madame, Le bon accueil qu'autrefois cette Veuve a reçu de vous l'oblige à vous remercier, et l'enhardit à vous demander la faveur de votre protection. Étant exposée aux coups de l'envie et de la médisance, elle n'en peut trouver de plus assurée que celle d'une personne sur qui ces deux monstres n'ont jamais de prise. Elle espère que vous ne la méconnaîtrez pas pour être dépouillée de tous autres ornements que les siens, et que vous la traiterez aussi bien qu'alors que la grâce de la représentation la mettait en son jour. Pourvu qu'elle vous puisse divertir encore une heure, elle trop contente, et se bannira sans regret du théâtre pour avoir une place dans votre cabinet. Elle honteuse de vous ressembler si peu, et a de grands sujets d'appréhender qu'on ne l'accuse de peu de jugement de se présenter devant vous, dont les perfections la feront paraître d'autant plus imparfaite; mais quand elle considère qu'elles en sont en un si haut point, qu'on n'en peut avoir de légères teintures sans des privilèges tout particuliers du ciel, elle se rassure entièrement, et n'ose plus craindre qu'il se rencontre des esprits assez injustes pour lui imputer à défaut le manque des choses qui sont au dessus des forces de la nature: en effet, madame, quelque difficulté que vous fassiez de croire aux miracles, il faut que vous en reconnaissiez en vous même, ou que vous ne vous connaissiez pas, puisqu'il est tout vrai que des vertus et des qualités si peu commune que les vôtres ne sauraient avoir d'autre nom. Ce n'est pas mon dessein d'en faire ici les éloges; outre qu'il serait superflu de particulariser ce que tout le monde sait, la bassesse de mon discours profanerait des choses si relevées. Ma plume est trop faible pour entreprendre de voler si haut; c'est assez pour elle de vous rendre mes devoirs, et de vous protester, avec plus de vérité que d'éloquence, que je serai toute ma vie, Madame, Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur, Corneille. Pierre Corneille, aussi appelé le Grand Corneille ou Corneille l'aîné, né le 6 juin 1606 à Rouen et mort le 1er octobre 1684 à Paris (paroisse Saint-Roch), est un dramaturge et poète français du XVIIe siècle. Issu d'une famille de la bourgeoisie de robe, Pierre Corneille, après des études de droit, occupa des offices d'avocat à Rouen tout en se tournant vers la littérature, comme bon nombre de diplômés en droit de son temps. Il écrivit d'abord des comédies comme Mélite, La Place royale, L'Illusion comique, et des tragi-comédies Clitandre (vers 1630) et en 1637, Le Cid, qui fut un triomphe, malgré les critiques de ses rivaux et des théoriciens. Il avait aussi donné dès 1634-35 une tragédie mythologique (Médée), mais ce n'est qu'en 1640 qu'il se lança dans la voie de la tragédie historique - il fut le dernier des poètes dramatiques de sa génération à le faire -, donnant ainsi ce que la postérité considéra comme ses chefs-d'oeuvre: Horace, Cinna, Polyeucte, Rodogune, Héraclius et Nicomède.
