Book Overview

Alexandre Dumas, Fils: Dramatist is a book written by H. Stanley Schwarz that provides a comprehensive look at the life and career of Alexandre Dumas, Fils, a prominent French playwright of the 19th century. The book explores Dumas' background, including his upbringing as the son of the famous writer Alexandre Dumas, and his early career as a writer and journalist. It also delves into his most famous plays, including The Lady of the Camellias, which was later adapted into the opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. Schwarz provides a detailed analysis of Dumas' writing style, themes, and characters, as well as the social and cultural context in which his works were produced. He also examines the critical reception of Dumas' plays, both in his own time and in the years since his death. Throughout the book, Schwarz argues that Dumas was a major figure in the development of French drama, and that his works continue to be relevant and influential today. Overall, Alexandre Dumas, Fils: Dramatist is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of French literature and drama, as well as for scholars and students of theater and performance studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
