Dans une Espagne médiévale, héroïque, éclatante, deux jeunes gens se déchirent et s'adorent. Pour laver un affront, Rodrigue tue le père de Chimène. L'honneur et le devoir exigent la vengeance et la haine, mais elle aime éperdument cet assassin. Une comédie, une tragédie ? Cette pièce, tout le monde le pressent, est le plus beau, le plus vivant, le plus jeune des drames romanesques. C'est un poème amoureux où les sentiments l'emportent sur les convenances et la loi, un chant de désespoir et de révolte. À la création du Cid, le succès fut tel qu'il fallut ajouter des chaises sur la scène. Depuis plus de trois siècles, il fait salle comble. Le théâtre de Corneille est fait de tendresse, d'inattendu, de folie. On commence tout juste à le comprendre aujourd'hui. This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923.
