Summary "Œuvres de P. Corneille, Tome 01" by Pierre Corneille is a collection of dramatic works and poetry written in the 17th century. This first volume showcases Corneille's approach to both the theatrical elements of his time and his language, often reflecting on the accuracy of text from previous editions. It serves as a comprehensive compilation and revision of his classic works, highlighting his legacy in French literature and drama. At the start of this collection, the editor Ch. Marty-Laveaux emphasizes the importance of accuracy in presenting Corneille's texts, addressing the various alterations made by previous editors to the author's original works. The introduction includes details about Corneille's contributions to literature, as well as the historical context surrounding his writing. The opening portion discusses the significant changes to the language and style of the dramatic works over time, with the aim of giving readers a faithful representation of Corneille's genius as it was intended in the original prints.
