Works of Rostand

Cyrano de Bergerac -In 1897, the French poet, Edmond Rostand, published a play, Cyrano de Bergerac, on the subject of Cyrano's life. This play, by far Rostand's most successful work, concentrates on Cyrano's love for the beautiful Roxane (note original spelling), whom he is obliged to woo on behalf of a more conventionally handsome but less articulate friend.
