DAVIDSON, M.A (Formerly Scholar of Keble College, Oxford) "Vastus animus immoderata, incredibilia, Nimis alta semper cupiebat." (Sallust, Catilina V) PHILADELPHIA J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY Ltd Westminster : ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 1902 Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London. ^l&'il^li — Preface IT may be—to be exact, it is—a somewhat presumptuous thing to write a book and call it Alexandre Dumas. There is no question here of introducing an unknown man or discovering an unrecognized genius. Dumas is, and has been for the better part of a century, the property of all the world : there can be little new to say about one of whom so much has already been said. Remembering also, as I do, a dictum by one of our best known men of letters to the effect that the adequate biographer of Dumas neither is nor is likely to be, I accept the saying at this moment with all the imfeigned humility which experience entitles me to claim. My own behef on this point is that, if we could conceive a writer who combined in himself the anecdotal facility of Suetonius or Saint Simon, with the loaded brevity of Tacitus and the judicial irony of Gibbon, such an one might essay the task with a reasonable prospect of success—though, after all, the probability is that he would be quite out of S5nnpathy with Dumas.

EXT. PARIS. TREE LINED AVENUE. DAY Dawn Mist Lingers in the Air
EXT. PARIS. TREE LINED AVENUE. DAY Dawn mist lingers in the air. D’ARTAGNAN stands at one end, in his shirtsleeves, his sword drawn, a dagger in his other hand. ATHOS, PORTHOS and ARAMIS gather around him. Opposite them is PRIDEUX, his sword at the ready. ARAMIS eyes PRIDEUX with cool respect then pats D’ARTAGNAN on the shoulder. ARAMIS What's the vital thing to remember in a duel? D'ARTAGNAN Honour? PORTHOS cuffs him on the back of the head. PORTHOS Not getting killed. Right, biting, kicking, gouging. It's all good. ATHOS leans in to talk quietly to D’ARTAGNAN. ATHOS You don't have to do this. It's Musketeer business. D'ARTAGNAN I can handle it. He hands ATHOS his glove, ATHOS takes it, steps back and holds it poised. Even before ATHOS drops it to the ground, PRIDEUX launches a furious assault. As PRIDEUX comes at him he spins and cracks his arm at the elbow, making D’ARTAGNAN drop the dagger. D’ARTAGNAN manages a few blows with his sword but, PRIDEUX punches him in the face, sending him sprawling in the dirt, then kicks him in the head. He moves in for the kill but D'ARTAGNAN rallies with an eye- watering kick in the balls. PORTHOS beams proudly and turns to ARAMIS. PORTHOS I taught him that move. (CONTINUED) 2. CONTINUED: D'ARTAGNAN staggers to his feet. Swords clash, early morning sun flashing off the blades. Both men pant for breath, sweating despite the cold. ATHOS watches intently, whilst PORTHOS giggles.

4 ` Cicero' on the (Theatre) Stage
4 CI` CERO' ON THE(THEATRE) STAGE The earliest dramas in which ‘Cicero’ appears on stage as acharacter date from the last quarter of the sixteenth century: apiece in France, one in Germany and (at least) three in Britain were produced in fairly quick succession. In all of these ‘Cicero’ is not the protagonist after whom the plays are named; instead, he is a more or less important figure involved in the dramatic action. 4.1 Robert Garnier, Corne´ lie (1574) Context Robert Garnier ( c. 1545–1590) studied law and did legal work in Paris before becoming amagistrate in his native district of Maine (a region in France) and later amember of the Grand Conseil du Royaume in Paris. From his student days onwards Garnier wrote literary works, starting with lyric and later turning to dramatic poetry.Heisnow regarded as one of the most significant French dramatists of the sixteenth century. The majority of Garnier’splays dramatize stories from the ancient world: Porcie (1568), Corne´ lie (1574), Hippolyte (1574), Marc-Antoine (1578), La Troade (1579) and Antigone (1580). At the same time the themes have contemporary resonance: the pieces share an emphasis on civil war,are characterized by arepublican outlook and were published during the turbulent period of the French Wars of Religion.1 As for their form, Garnier’splays feature little dramatic action and rather consist of an alternation of rhetorically developed speeches and choruses; they are based on the model of Seneca’sLatin tragedies.2 28 R EVIVING C ICEROIN D RAMA Corne´ lie was first performed in 1573; it was first published in 1574 and then included in an edition of Garnier’stragedies in 1585.

His theatrical career began with a solid and impressive ten years of management at the notorious Haymarket Theatre where he worked with the likes of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. But it was the work he produc ed at Her Majesty’s Theatre (renamed His M ajesty’s Theatre after Queen Victoria’s death in 1901) – the imposing and opulent theatre he had specially built – that exemplified his theatrical career. Her Majesty’s would be the site of some of Tree’s most successful and most extravagant stage spectac les. Although the Theatre’s inaugural production, The Sights of the Mighty , was less than successful, Tree and his wife Maud – his partner in life, in business, and on stage – saw great success within just a year.

The Man in the Iron Mask.Pdf
The Man In The Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas pere 1 Chapter I. The Prisoner. Since Aramis's singular transformation into a confessor of the order, Baisemeaux was no longer the same man. Up to that period, the place which Aramis had held in the worthy governor's estimation was that of a prelate whom he respected and a friend to whom he owed a debt of gratitude; but now he felt himself an inferior, and that Aramis was his master. He himself lighted a lantern, summoned a turnkey, and said, returning to Aramis, "I am at your orders, monseigneur." Aramis merely nodded his head, as much as to say, "Very good"; and signed to him with his hand to lead the way. Baisemeaux advanced, and Aramis followed him. It was a calm and lovely starlit night; the steps of three men resounded on the flags of the terraces, and the clinking of the keys hanging from the jailer's girdle made itself heard up to the stories of the towers, as if to remind the prisoners that the liberty of earth was a luxury beyond their reach. It might have been said that the alteration effected in Baisemeaux extended even to the prisoners. The turnkey, the same who, on Aramis's first arrival had shown himself so inquisitive and curious, was now not only silent, but impassible. He held his head down, and seemed afraid to keep his ears open. In this wise they reached the basement of the Bertaudiere, the two first stories of which were mounted silently and somewhat slowly; for Baisemeaux, though far from disobeying, was far from exhibiting any eagerness to obey.
