Ready Reference Treatise: Cyrano de Bergerac

“Cyrano de Bergerac” by Edmond Rostand was written in 1897. The play is a fictionalized adaptation of the life of a real Cyrano de Bergerac.

It is a verse drama written in rhyming couplets. Each line has twelve syllables. The verse form is very similar to the Alexandrine formant, but the lines often have a lack of caesura.

It is obvious that the playwright had done a very meticulous research, even down to the names of the members of Academie Francaise.
