Synopsis

Unlocking Rostand’s Chantecler: a clear, thoughtful look at its ideas, stagecraft, and satirical bite.

This critical study surveys how the play uses design, performance, and theme to create a vivid world. It explains why large-scale scenery, symbolic costumes, and precise dramatic timing matter to the experience of the work. The analysis connects act-by-act events to Rostand’s broader critique of vanity, cosmopolitanism, and social display, while considering the audience’s reception and the play’s enduring questions.


  • How stage design and oversized props help establish mood and meaning.

  • What the satire targets: ostentation, learning shown off, and modern social life.

  • The relationship between costume, character symbolism, and performance choices.

  • How Rostand’s dramatic form aims to fuse vision and verse for a powerful effect.



Ideal for readers of literary criticism, theater history, and fans seeking a deeper understanding of Rostand’s poetic drama.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
