Clitandre

Clitandre is the second play by Pierre Corneille and was published in 1630. It is dedicated to the duc de Longueville, who assisted Corneille when he was first starting to publish his plays. Corneille modified Clitandre several times, notably in 1660, in order to adapt the play to the tragedy genre which was very popular at the time. The play did not enter into the repertoire of the Comédie-Française until 1996, due to the complex nature of the plot.
