Excerpt from The French Tragi-Comedy: Its Origin and Development From 1552 to 1628; Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
At some time I hope to treat the second of these periods, but at present I confine myself to the first. The following pages will therefore be devoted to an investigation of the sources of the tragi-comedy, as they are found in France and other parts of Europe, to the development of the genre in the former country, and to a study of the tragi-comedies written from 1552 to 1628.
