Œuvres de P. Corneille, Tome 01

This volume assembles the author's dramatic and poetic output, presenting tragedies, comedies, prefatory Discours sur le théâtre, and verse pieces alongside a critical apparatus that restores original orthography while correcting typographical errors. The editor reproduces multiple textual states and variants, provides notes, a lexicon of notable words and phrases, a portrait and a facsimile, and explains editorial principles and emendations. Texts follow the author's last reviewed editions but are compared with earlier impressions; informative annotations clarify variant readings, punctuation, and difficult passages to facilitate reading and scholarly study.
