The Candlestick, A Door Must be Kept Open or Shut, Don't Fool with Love Three translations of one of Frances most important, influential and original dramatists. Dont Fool with Love, written in 1834, is set against a backdrop of rural France and peopled by a host of colourful characters.
Best Known as a poet in the English-speaking world, Alfred de Musset (1810-57) is regarded in his native France as perhaps the most significant dramatist of the first half of the nineteenth century. Ibsen admired his work, Turgenev imitated it, while Scribe even thought some of Musset's comedies funnier than his own.
