  • Alexis Piron, Fernand-Cortés
    Derek Connon
    When Alexis Piron embarked on his third tragedy Fernand-Cortés (1744) he was able to build on the experience of his second work in the genre, one of the most successful of its time, written eleven years before, Gustave-Wasa.

  • Alexis Piron, 'Gustave-Wasa'
    Derek Connon
    Si Alexis Piron fut longtemps connu uniquement comme l'auteur de la grande comédie La Métromanie, plus récemment la découverte de quelques-unes de ses pièces foraines, surtout le monologue délirant qu'est Arlequin-Deucalion, révéla un autre aspect de son talent comique. Mais il fut aussi l'auteur de trois tragédies, dont la deuxième, Gustave-Wasa (1733), devint l'une des mieux ...
