A captivating portrait of history creating itself, this study was written as Europe was struggling to recover from the Napoleonic Wars, when the remnants of chivalry were vying with the new, more democratic ideals. Dramatist Alfred de Vigny (1797-1863) explores the contradictions inherent in the military life. On the one hand he decries the savagery of war, all the while appreciating the discipline and camaraderie of army life. In the end, notorious Napoleon emerges as somewhat more hero than fallen idol.

Classics

Review\nFrench prose drama in three acts by Alfred de Vigny, performed and published in 1835. Considered Vigny's masterpiece, the play depicts a fictitious episode in the life of the 18th-century English poet Thomas Chatterton. It glorifies the noble anguish of a misunderstood artist and condemns a materialistic society in which there is no place for "nonproductive" art and artists. -- The Merriam-Webster Encylopedia of Literature\nLanguage Notes\nText: English (translation)
