18th century MANUSCRIPT LETTER to French playwright baron de Longepierre

Item Details

Description

eighteenth-century manuscript
entitled :
"All'ornatissimo autore della versione della Tragedia del Sig.re Longe Pierre intitolata La Medea. Sonetto..."
(in Italian)
comprising 8 leaves.
Size 6.5 by 8.5"
Not dated

Hilaire-Bernard de Requeleyne, baron de Longepierre (18 October 1659 – 30 March 1721) was a 17th–18th-century French playwright.
Longepierre's tragedies aimed in fact to regain the perfect purity of Greek theater. His best play, Medea (1694), was first greeted coldly but triumphed when it was revived in 1728 and every time a talented actress undertook the title role. This tragedy, devoid of love, has terrifying passages, but it is static and the style is hard, verbose and declamatory. Longepierre then gave Sesostris (1695) and Electra (1702) which had little performances.
Despite Rousseau's epigrams, Longepierre, who had a large fortune, enjoyed general respect and was preceptor to the Count of Toulouse, then to the Duke of Chartres, future regent of the kingdom, of which he became ordinary gentleman. He was also private secretary of the Duke of Berry.
