The first English biography of Edmond Rostand, creator of _Cyrano de Bergerac_. Thoroughly researched and annotated, but written for non-specialists, it shows how Rostand strove in his plays to revive idealism in the modern world.
I enjoyed this book; it shed well deserved light on an author eclipsed by his own oeuvre "Cyrano de Bergerac". Sue Lloyd gives an easy read with much depth and perception. Loved it, and you should too!
