Charles GOUNOD : Polyeucte Polyeucte also announces to her, that the day of the sacrifice was moved to coincide with the visit of Severe, an imperial general, who comes to celebrate a recent victory. Polyeucte tries to convince his wife to embrace Christianity, so that they can be united after death. Polyeucte is brought in and intones a chant of Christian credo. www.charles-gounod.com /vi/oeuvres/operas/polyeuct.htm   (801 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) All of these qualities are admirably exemplified in "Polyeucte"; and in the conduct of the leading personages one may perceive the most persistent trait of this dramatist's treatment of heroic character--the conquest of the passions by the reason and the will. Polyeucte was once my guard, my pride, my shield, Yet can I, by Severus, weapons wield, Should he my daughter wed, more tried, more true: What wills Severus--that will Decius do. I go to Polyeucte's cell,--though my poor breath Should there be spent in vain to avert his death; Then, then my fated child her strength shall try. ftp.sunet.se /pub/etext.rx/gutenberg/etext01/plyct10.txt   (14100 words)

Opera Today: GOUNOD: Polyeucte   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Polyeucte was the third significant opera loosely based on Corneille’s Polyeucte. I would postulate that the problems with Polyeucte were more complicated, and also included the fact that Pauline only has one relatively short, albeit beautiful, prayer with little opportunity for vocal display, although she does have four major duets, two each with her husband, Polyeucte, and her former lover, Sévère. By the same token, Polyeucte’s only major aria occurs in Act V by which time both Sévère and a secondary character, Sextus, have had their solos. www.operatoday.com /article/837/gounod-polyeucte   (1466 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature In these the plot becomes more and more complicated; the poet prefers perpelexing and anomolous situations, and looks for variety and strangeness of incident to the neglect of the sentiments and the passions. Corneille's "Polyeucte" shows traces of the controversies on Divine Grace which at that time agitated the minds of men. Jansenism profoundly influenced the entire literature of the seventeenth century, giving rise, first and foremost, to one of its prose masterpieces, the "Lettes provinciales" (1656-67) of Pascal. www.newadvent.org /cathen/06190a.htm   (14968 words)

Introductory Note. Corneille, Pierre. 1909-14. Polyeucte. The Harvard Classics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) “The Cid” appeared in 1636, and a series of masterpieces followed—“Horace,” “Cinna,” “Polyeucte,” “Le Menteur.” After a failure in “Pertharite” he retired from the stage, deeply hurt by the disapproval of his audience. One result of these rules was to give an extraordinary importance to the speeches; and it is in the eloquence of these, in the grandeur and dignity of the versification, and in the lofty moral elevation of the characters, that Corneille excels. All of these qualities are admirably exemplified in “Polyeucte”; and in the conduct of the leading personages one may perceive the most persistent trait of this dramatist’s treatment of heroic character—the conquest of the passions by the reason and the will. bonus.com /contour/bartlettqu/http@@/www.bartleby.com/26/2/1001.html   (421 words)

Last check: 2007-10-13) Tinel was from a previous generation by only eleven years but his style sounds rather earlier than de Boeck's.
