Casimir Delavigne : Louis XI
Mary Russell Mitford to Elizabeth Barrett, 28 November 1844: 'What works of Casimir Delavigne have you read? [...] I have read "Louis the Eleventh [sic]," "Marino Faliero," "Les Enfans d'Edouard [sic]," "Don Juan d'Autriche," "La Popularite," "La Fille du Cid," "Une Famille du temps de Luther [sic]," forming the second and third series of his "Theatre." To me they seem full of talent; striking the just medium between the slowness and dullness of what they call the classical drama [...] and the unnatural and exaggerated contrasts and surprises of Victor Hugo'.
