Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Rachel" is a compelling biographical study of the legendary French actress Mademoiselle Rachel (Elisa Felix), written by the renowned drama critic James Agate. As one of the most influential figures in the history of the European stage, Rachel's rise from poverty to becoming the leading tragic actress of her era is a story of immense talent and relentless ambition. Agate brings his deep knowledge of the theatre to bear in this portrait, tracing her extraordinary career at the Comedie-Francaise and her profound impact on the classical French repertoire.The work explores Rachel's interpretations of the great roles of Racine and Corneille, which breathed new life into the traditional tragedies of the French stage. Beyond her professional triumphs, the book examines the personality and spirit of a woman who captivated audiences across Europe and America, challenging the social and cultural conventions of the nineteenth century. Through Agate's insightful prose, readers gain an understanding of the technique, temperament, and legacy of a performer who redefined the art of acting. This biography serves as both a tribute to a theatrical icon and a fascinating window into the world of nineteenth-century drama.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
