«Horace» is the play by Pierre Corneille, published by Gallimard in the Folio/Théâtre collection (176 pages, in French).
Set in ancient Rome, the play premiered in 1640 and pits patriotism and civic duty against family affections. After Horace's victory over the Albans, his sister Camille mourns her dead lover and curses Rome, triggering a tragic conflict. Corneille turns the hero into an ambiguous figure.
This edition, published in 1994, is number 16 in the Folio/Théâtre collection, with an introduction and notes by Jean-Pierre Chauveau, and includes bibliographical references.
A work frequently read in school curricula, suitable for students of French literature and fans of seventeenth-century classical theater.
