Summary "Histoire anecdotique de l'Ancien Théâtre en France, Tome Premier" by Albert Du Casse is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the origins and evolution of theater in France, spanning from its inception in the early 15th century through the complexities of the French dramatic tradition. The book explores the themes, characters, styles, and notable authors of both religious and secular plays, painting a vivid picture of the theatrical landscape of the time. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the French theater's origins, beginning in 1402 with the establishment of the Confrères de la Passion. Du Casse describes various forms of dramatic presentations, including the Mystères and Moralités, offering anecdotes and analyses of significant pieces and their impact.
