Review & Description
This is the first full-length biography of Edmond Rostand published in English. Written for those who love "Cyrano de Bergerac", it throws new light on the origins of his most famous play, and reveals how Rostand expressed his own character and ideals in his heroes, especially Cyrano. This book also introduces readers to his other plays, such as Chantecler, thought by some to be his masterpiece. Readers will discover a sensitive, modest poet, overwhelmed by the demands of his fame, but determined, in spite of suffering from periods of depression, to fulfil what he saw as his life's work, inspiring others with his own idealistic enthusiasm.
