| Description: 1897 French play by Edmond Rostand about a brilliant but self-conscious poet-swordsman with a large nose who secretly loves his cousin Roxane. Believing his appearance makes him unworthy, he helps the handsome but inarticulate Christian woo Roxane by writing eloquent love letters for him, leading to a tragic and romantic story of unrequited love, honor, and sacrifice. The play is celebrated for its wit, idealism, and heroic comedy, and it has been adapted into numerous films, musicals, and other works. | |
