The Fourteenth of July, and Danton


Book Description

Excerpt from The Fourteenth of July, and Danton: Two Plays of the French Revolution Having tested the plays of the past and found them wanting, M. Rolland set himself the task of supplying plays for his projected people's theater. As we have seen, he went to the Revolution, and wrote plays which would appeal to the masses. But these plays must also be acted by the people, and M. Rolland proceeded to make the people a character, a great composite crowd.
