Romain Rolland: Théatre de la Révolution
Abstract
The Clamecy of nineteenth century France was a small, quiet city of Burgundy, no different from countless other French provincial cities. Yet in 1866 it could already boast of two illustrious sons, one, the sixteenth century apostle of liberty, Jean Rouvet, the other and better known, the pamphleteer and novelist of the early nineteenth century, author of Mon oncle Ben- jamin, Claude Tillier.But its most signal honor had yet to come. It was at Clamecy on January 29, 1866, that Romain Rolland was born, the son of "maître" Rolland, the respectable and well-to-do lawyer of the town. By the end of the century, Romain Rolland had embarked on a career which was to bring him into the limelight not only of the literary scene but of the political and international field as well.
