His first See also:play, a See also:burlesque, See also:Les romanesques, was produced on the 21st of May 1894 at the See also:Theatre See also:Francais. He took the See also:motive of his second piece, La Princesse lointaine (Theatre de la See also:Renaissance, 5th April 1895), from the See also:story of the See also:troubadour Rudel and the See also:Lady of See also:Tripoli. The See also:part of Melissande was created by Sarah See also:Bernhardt, who also was the See also:original Photine of La Samaritaine (Theatre de la Renaissance, 14th April 1897), a Biblical See also:drama in three scenes taken from the See also:gospel story of the woman of See also:Samaria.

Martin), with See also:Coquelin in the See also:title-role, was a See also:triumph. No such See also:enthusiasm for a drama in See also:verse had been known since the days of See also:Hugo's Hernani. The play was quickly translated into See also:English, See also:German, See also:Russian and other See also:European See also:languages. For his See also:hero he had See also:drawn on French 17th-See also:century See also:history; in L'Aiglon he See also:chose a subject from See also:Napoleonic See also:legend, suggested probably by See also:Henri Welschinger's Roi de See also:Rome, 1811-32 (1897), which contained much new See also:information about the unhappy See also:life of the See also:duke of See also:Reichstadt, son of See also:Napoleon I. and See also:Marie See also:Louise, under the surveillance of Metternich at the See also:palace of Schonbrunn. L'Aiglon, in six acts and in verse, was produced (15th See also:March 1900) by Sarah Bernhardt at her own theatre, she herself undertaking the part of the duke of Reichstadt. In 1902 Rostand was elected to the French See also:Academy. His Chantecler, produced in See also:February 1910, was awaited with an See also:interest (enhanced by considerable delay in the production) hardly equalled by the enthusiasm of its reception. Lucien See also:Guitry was in the title-role and Mme. See also:Simone played the part of the See also:pheasant, the play being a fantasy of See also:bird and See also:animal life, and the characters denizens of the farmyard and the See also:woods.
