description: This account of Pierre Loti's involvement with the theater sheds light on not only an area of his work unfamiliar to most readers of his novels but also on significant activities behind the scenes at a period of great change in 19th-century French drama. Analyzes his literary and practical considerations in his creation of four works, then examines his translation/adaptation of King Lear, placing it in the tradition of French versions and performances. Also examines operatic adaptations of Loti's works. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
