	Romanticism in the Theatre
		The author of Hernani demands "those who are shocked by his work" to re-read Molière and Corneille: to supplement each of "these two great and most admirable poets" by the other is the chief aim of the Romantic drama.
		The drama will be a concourse of people." It no longer applied itself to representing the elementary forms of human life in primitive peoples, or pure intellects and moral entities moving about in an atmosphere of abstraction.
		The drama was not succeeded by Classic tragedy, but by a species of comedy new in spirit and form, which, after the irremediable decadence of Romanticism, naturally adapted itself to the Positive and Realistic tendencies of our epoch.

		Although the dramas of Hugo, Dumas, and Vigny dominated this period, it was the delicate comedies of love by Alfred de Musset, such as Les caprices de Marianne (1851; Marianne, 1905), at first ignored, that ultimately proved the most popular plays of this movement.
		In theaters patronized by the people (rather than the nobility), the most popular form of drama in the early 19th century featured elements of romanticism, including an interest in emotion and spectacle and a disregard for the rules of neoclassicism.
		This so-called social drama or drama of realism was pioneered in France by Émile Augier and by Alexandre Dumas fils (junior).

	History of Drama
		Medieval drama, when it emerged hundreds of years later, was a new creation rather than a rebirth, the drama of earlier times having had almost no influence on it.
		Absurdist drama tends to eliminate much of the cause-and-effect relationship among incidents, reduce language to a game and minimize its communicative power, reduce characters to archetypes, make place nonspecific, and view the world as alienating and incomprehensible.
		European drama was not much influenced by psychological realism but was more concerned with plays of ideas, as evidenced in the works of the Italian dramatist Luigi Pirandello, the French playwrights Jean Anouilh and Jean Giraudoux, and the Belgian playwright Michel de Ghelderode.

	Introduction to Hernani - George McLean Harper Ph.D. - 1894
		There is a temptation to make ´Hernaniª the text of disquisitions on Romanticism, forgetting that it is a drama of high intrinsic merit, and that the question of positive value is, after all, the essential one.
		We find, indeed, that Victor Hugo's drama differs from Racine's; ´Hernaniª is based upon life in Spain, and not in Greece or Rome, and the period is the sixteenth century, and not the age of Pericles or Tiberius Caesar.
		In 1827 appeared a so-called historical drama, ´Cromwellª, which was not remarkable for much except its lack of historical truth, and its preface, in which the young man outlined his theories and laid down the programme of attack upon the classical ideas.

	The Rise of Romanticism
		During the latter part of the eighteenth century the drama in France had steadily declined from the glorious position which it had achieved in the reign of Louis XIV.
		The genius of Voltaire, by its stage-reforms and innovations, had partially stayed the downward movement in tragedy, and the philosophic Diderot had sought to substitute for mirthful comedy a new species--the serious--which should be an agent of social reform, and in fact the consummation of dramatic art as a mirror of life.
		Tragedy was strictly bound by the unities of time, place and action, and the new writers who attempted it lacked the inventive power of their predecessors.

	A Study of Poetry
		Many passages in narrative and dramatic verse, for instance, while fulfilling their primary function of telling a story or throwing characters into action, are colored by what we have called the lyric quality, by that passionate, personal feeling whose natural mode of expression is in song.
		In Marlowe's Tamburlaine, for instance, or Victor Hugo's Hernani, there are superb pieces of lyric declamation, in which we feel that Marlowe and Hugo themselves--not the imaginary Tamburlaine and Hernani--are chanting the desires of their own hearts.
		While the scope of the present volume, as explained in the Preface, precludes any specific study of drama and epic, the reader must bear in mind that the three main types of poetry are not separated, in actual practice, by immovably hard and fast lines.

		Pigeonhole classifications of drama, epic and lyric types are highly convenient to the student for purposes of analysis.
		But the lyric possibilities of the drama are more easily realized if we turn from the prose play to the play in verse, and particularly to those Elizabethan dramas which are not only poetical in essence, but which utilize actual songs for their dramatic value.
		Students of epic and drama find them peculiarly suggestive in their handling of narrative and dramatic material, while to students of folklore and of primitive society they are inexhaustible treasures.
