THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas
THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas THE AUTHOR Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was born in a small French village northeast of Paris. His father had been a general under Napoleon, and his paternal grandfather had lived in Haiti and had married a former slave woman there, thus making Dumas what was called a quadroon. Napoleon and his father had parted on bad terms, with Dumas’ father being owed a large sum of money; the failure to pay this debt left the family poor and struggling, though the younger Dumas remained an admirer of the French emperor. Young Dumas moved to Paris in 1823 and took a job as a clerk to the Duke of Orleans (later to become King Louis Philippe), but soon began writing plays. Though his plays were successful and he made quite a handsome living from them, his profligate lifestyle (both financially and sexually) kept him constantly on the edge of bankruptcy. He played an active role in the revolution of 1830, and then turned to writing novels. As was the case with Dickens in England, his books were published in cheap newspapers in serial form. Dumas proved able to crank out popular stories at an amazing rate, and soon became the most famous writer in France. Among his works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Dumas’ novels tend to be long and full of flowery description (some cynics suggest that this is because he was paid by the word), and for this reason often appear today in the form of abridged translations (if you ever doubt the value of such an approach, take a look at the unabridged version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables sometime). -

Chunga 12 I Learned That Mike Glicksohn and It Is a Pleasure to See Them Again
13 s e p t e m b e r 2 0 0 7 “But wouldn’t it be cheaper just to use a man in a suit?” Chunga is a darkened theater where Lee Hoffman and Ron Bennett sit in the middle third row. Rich brown leans forward in the row behind them, and he won’t stop talking. Other fans are expected, and all three look over their shoulders in anticipation. In the projection booth, Bob Tucker is pouring shots from a green-labeled bottle. One for each reel change — two cartoons, a news reel, the serial chapter, the A picture, and the B picture. A pleasant odor of bourbon and popcorn fills the darkness as he throws the switch.

27 Lectures De La Reine Margot D'alexandre Dumas: Le Roman Populaire Par Excellence an Analytical Reading of Alexandre Dumas'
Jordan Journal of Modern Languages and Literature Vol.10, No. 1, 2018, pp 27-46 JJMLL Lectures de la Reine Margot d’Alexandre Dumas: le roman populaire par excellence Mohammad Matarneh Département de français, Université de Jordanie, Aqaba, Jordanie. Received on: 6-12-2017 Accepted on: 21-3-2018 Résumé Si Alexandre Dumas n'est pas le précurseur du roman historique tel que Georges Lukács l'a défini (Walter Scott l'a précédé), il en est le représentant français le plus illustre. L'auteur des Trois Mousquetaires a trouvé dans ce genre nouveau l'instrument parfait pour toucher les masses et les élever moralement. Avec La Reine Margot, il donne au public l'une des œuvres les plus accomplies qu'il ait conçues pour mener à bien son projet d'éducation populaire. Les données historiques de la Saint-Barthélemy, mais plus encore son savoir-faire de romancier en matière de création de personnages et d'incarnation de grands sujets de réflexion, font de cette œuvre l'un des meilleurs exemples pour définir l'esthétique et l'ambition dumassiennes. Mots clefs: Populaire, Margot, exploitation littéraire, personnages historiques, amour, amitié, mort. An analytical reading of Alexandre Dumas' Queen Margot: A distinguished popular novel Abstract Alexandre Dumas put aside the scholarly writing of history and chose instead the genre of popular novel in order to teach the French and other people history. He, thus, presents French national history in an entertaining and accessible way in La Reine Margot (Queen Margot), in which he popularizes great figures in French history. La Reine Margot is a clear example through which Dumas achieves his goal of teaching people the history of France. -

H-France Review Volume 6 (2006) Page 434 H-France Review Vol. 6 (September 2006), No. 103 Julianne Pidduck, La Reine Margot. Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2005. 112 pp. Illustrations, notes, appendices, bibliography. $15.00 (pb) $40.00 (hb). ISBN 0-252-07331-2 (pb), ISBN 0-252-03090-7 (hb). Review by Sylvie E. Blum-Reid, University of Florida. Julianne Pidduck constructs her presentation of the film La Reine Margot in a three-part study. Directed, co-written by Patrice Chéreau and Danièle Thompson, and produced by Claude Berri (Renn Productions) the film was released in 1994. The long introductory first chapter lays out the rich production contexts of the film and brings together different layers such as the genre of the film, Chéreau’s theatrical background, the issue of literary adaptation in the 1990s at the core of the film, notwithstanding present in much of French cinema, earlier adaptations of Dumas’ eponymous novel, the French cultural context at the making of the film in 1994, the star persona of Isabelle Adjani, her roles in French cinema, coupled with the myth surrounding the queen Margot and Adjani herself. In what is an extremely well-argued and articulated study, Pidduck makes a case for a comprehensive rereading of the film that has drawn critical reviews and controversy since its first appearance in theatre. Now thanks to the new French film guide series directed by Ginette Vincendeau (U. Illinois Press), she examines film reviews and articles on the film as well as historical studies to situate the extremely complex moment surrounding the “Queen Margot” and the era of the Religious Wars and the events known as the Saint-Barthélémy massacre that took place in August 1572. -

Alexandre Dumas Biography Name ______Period _____ Score ______/30
Alexandre Dumas Biography Name ____________________ Period _____ Score ______/30 Early life Alexandre Dumas was born on July 24, 1802 in France. He was the son of a general of the French Revolutionary armies, while his grandfather was from a noble family. Dumas's father died when he was four years old, leaving the family with very little money. Dumas was not a very good student; but, his handwriting was noticeably beautiful so he studied to work as a notary (a public officer who witnesses the signing of important documents and makes them official). As a teen, he discovered his talent for writing. He began with musical comedies and then historical plays in collaboration (working together with others) with a poet friend named Adolphe de Leuven. Historical subjects, as well as his ability to collaborate, were to be permanent elements of Dumas's work during his career. Dumas then found work as a secretary to the Duke of Orléans (later King Louis Philippe, 1773–1850) in Paris, France. He read and attended the theater as much as he could during his time off. He was greatly influenced by the works of William Shakespeare (1564–1616) and wrote his first plays in 1825 and 1826. Others followed, with Henri III (1829) bringing him great success and popularity. The French Revolution of 1830 slowed down Dumas's writing, and he became a strong supporter of the Marquis de Lafayette. His political activities were viewed unfavorably by the new king, his former boss, and he was forced to leave France for a time. -
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870)
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) BLACK EUROPEANS: A British Library Online Gallery feature by guest curator Mike Phillips Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was the son of Marquis Alexandre-Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie, and a slave, Louise-Céssette Dumas, from the Caribbean island colony of Saint Domingue (or Santo Domingo, known as Haiti after 1804). Returning to France in 1780, De La Pailleterie consented to his son joining the army on condition that he did not use his name. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas’ courage and strength became legendary and by 1793 he was a general at 31. Following a successful campaign with Napoleon in Egypt, Dumas seemed set for a brilliant future but, because of his involvement in a republican plot, he was despatched to France, captured during the journey and imprisoned. Freed after 20 months, he was lame, deaf in one ear, partly paralysed and penniless. At the age of 35 he was obliged to retire to Villers-Cotterêts, a quiet village near Paris where he had married Marie-Louise Elizabeth Labouret in 1792. Alexandre was born on 24 July 1802. Madame Dumas was in raptures because of his fair skin and blue eyes. A few days before she had seen a puppet show with a black devil called Berlick, and she had been terrified at the prospect of giving birth to a Berlick. Alexandre adored his father, who died in 1806. Told that his father been taken away by God the four-year-old Dumas angrily declared his intention of going up to heaven and demanding satisfaction. In adult life he was to fictionalise many of his father’s real life exploits in his famous novel The Three Musketeers.
