Cornel biography

His father, belonging to the Middle Bourgeoisie, held the position of watched waters and forests of the Ruan county. The young Cornell studied at the local Jesuit college, then studied the law and became a lawyer in the year. In the year, he bought two positions and became what they would now call an “official”. It seemed that his career was determined. But in the year, the troupe of the actors arrived in Ruan.

Mondory, the head of this troupe, was already a famous actor. Cornel met him and entrusted him with the manuscript of his comedy Melita.

Mondory took her with him to Paris. There he set her, and she had a noisy mouth. This determined the decision of Cornell to devote his life to the theater. Between and years, he regularly gave the theater his tragedies and comedies and even wrote two tragicomedies. After the "seat" of Cornell, they began to consider the greatest writer of his time. He stopped writing for the theater only in the year.

And not because he experienced personal disappointment, but because from these years the audience turned away from the tragedy. It was noted that at the same time many other writers, like Cornell, refused to create tragedies. Cornel remained silent for six years - during this time he worked on one pious composition, shifting to French poems "imitation of Jesus Christ." In the year, a friend of Cornel, the poet Pelisson, introduced him to the famous Fouquet, the finance superintendent that in our time is tantamount to the Minister of Finance.

Fueke, who wanted to be known as the philanthropist of art of elegant literature, decided to return Cornel to the theater. A new period of life began for the writer. He took the opportunity to leave Rouen and came to Paris in the year to strengthen his position there. He surrounded himself with a group of writers who took the duty, blocking the path to possible rivals, to defend the glory of Cornell.

They were called "Cornelians." They laid the foundation for the difficulties that Moliere had to overcome, and then Rasin to achieve a recognition of their talent among Parisians. With the support of this party and several noble nobles Cornell for five years - he set four tragedies on the stage. But nothing could counteract the fact that the tastes and views of the public have fundamentally changed.

Cornel's tragedies came across all growing ill -wishes. Some of them suffered a complete failure. Cornell decided to leave again. For three years, he remained silent. However, in the year he made another attempt to return to the theater. It took the failure of the Surens in the year to decide to final care. Cornell lived another ten years. Describing his old age, they often say that he fell into poverty.

In fact, he led a modest but decent existence. He regretted past triumphs, but lived, surrounded by general respect. Cornell led a respectable family life. He was an excellent husband and devoted father. This man, who created a whole world of heroic images, lived the life of a modest bourgeois and brought the simplicity of manners, speech and even clothes to such extreme that this was unpleasantly struck by many.

In the year, Cornel's health was shaken, since the year he began to noticeably lose his strength. Antoine Adan Cornel worked for the stage. Like the other French playwrights of his time, he addressed the publisher only a few months after the play by his play was staged at the theater. All Cornel's comedies and tragedies were printed and were already reprinted several times during his lifetime.

The first volume of the collected works of Cornel went out in the year, the second - he was preparing them for printing into the poet. The complete collection of his works in four volumes appeared already, after the death of the poet, in the year. The first commentator of the works of the great playwright was Voltaire. Twelve volumes of the publications he had taken in Geneva in the year.

The most important place among subsequent editions belongs to the complete collected works of Cornel with the notes of S. Marti-Lavo: Oeuvres de Pierre Corneille. MARTY-LAVEUX, T. PARIS, Hachette, series Les Grands Ecrivains de la France. From later publications, it should be noted the two -volume man of Kornel’s plays, published in the Paris publishing house of Gallimar, edited by P.

Lyrev and the three -volume edition of Cornell’s works, carried out by A. Clouur in the Parisian publishing house Laruss. Selected tragedies edited by A. Smirnov were published in the year. More about Pierre Cornel.
