1,552 editions published between 1636 and 2016 in 17 languages and held by 6,096 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Published in 1636, Le Cid was held as an ideal work of drama for years by subsequent playwrights.

Caught between filial devotion and romantic love, Le Cid is in an impossible situation, and he solves this dilemma through true heroic action

Polyeucte by
Pierre Corneille(
Book
)
650 editions published between 1640 and 2015 in 10 languages and held by 2,408 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This seventeenth-century drama in five acts was inspired by the tale of Saint Polyeuctus (rendered as 'Polyeucte' in French), a Roman convert to the faith who was martyred in 259 A.D. However, although an imaginatively retold version of the story of St. Polyeuctus comprises some of the plot of the play, Polyeucte also relates metaphorically to the religious debates of the seventeenth century. A must-read for fans of classic drama

Book
)
281 editions published between 1635 and 2015 in 5 languages and held by 1,452 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In The Theatre of Illusion you'll find buffoonery, chicanery, adultery, murder, flights of fancy, and flights of love. A picaresque hero, Clindor, secretly woos the lovely Isabelle away from his master, Matamore. Isabelle suspects that Clindor seeks the charms of another. And Lyse, the indispensable maid, helps to make it all somehow come right. Pierre Corneille described this dazzling play as an "extravagant trifle" and it is, indeed, filled with an abundance of twists and turns and surprises." "Now this baroque masterpiece has been translated by one of America's finest poets and translators of French, Richard Wilbur."--Jacket
