description: Noel Clark's stylishly crafted verse translations of three of Corneille's finest plays are brought together here in one volume. Le Cid is perhaps Corneille's most famous play and derives from his reading of Spanish literature - the play provided him with a triumph and signalled a resurgence in French drama but it provoked much enmity amongst fellow writers. Cinna and Polyeuct both belong to the series of 'Roman' plays which established Corneille as the foremost tragedian of his day.
