«The Fourteenth of July and Danton» is the collection of two plays by Romain Rolland, published by Kessinger Publishing in paperback (240 pages).
The volume brings together two plays set during the French Revolution. 'The Fourteenth of July' recreates the atmosphere before the storming of the Bastille with characters from different sides; 'Danton' follows Georges Danton, his rise, his relationship with Robespierre and his fall. Rolland combines historical rigor and lyricism in both texts.
The 2007 edition is an English facsimile from the Kessinger's Rare Reprints series and includes the translation by Barrett H. Clark.
For readers interested in the French Revolution, historical theatre and the work of Romain Rolland.
Romain Rolland was a French dramatist, novelist, essayist, art historian and mystic who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915 "as a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings".
