Pierre Corneille Collection at Bartleby.com - English

French dramatist, ranking with Racine as a master of French classical tragedy.… Corneille’s tragedies exalt the will at the expense of the emotions; his tragic heroes and heroines display almost superhuman strength in subordinating passion to duty.

Like the playwright's other early efforts it was full of the insipid love that was the mode of the moment. These first plays of Corneille's, however, insipid as they were, were far superior to any French plays that preceded them. It is to these very plays, in fact, that modern drama owes the happy invention of the soubrette. But when the epoch-making Cid appeared in 1636 it so far outshone anything that preceded it, that the earlier plays were practically disregarded.

D'une famille de robe, Pierre Corneille fait ses études au Collège des Jésuites de sa ville natale, puis, diplômé de droit, devient avocat en 1628, métier qu'il exerce jusqu'en 1651. De sa vie privée, fort discrète, on connaît peu de chose. Il épouse, en 1640, Marie de Lempérière, qui lui donne six enfants et quitte Rouen pour s'installer à Paris en 1662, lorsque la suite de ses succès au théâtre lui garantit la reconnaissance du public.

Biography of Pierre Corneille - French Dramatist - English
URL: http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/Theatre/Corneille/corneille.shtml

Pierre Corneille {kohr-nay'}, b. June 6, 1606, d. Oct. 1, 1684, along with his contemporary and rival, Jean Racine, ranks as France's greatest classical tragic dramatist. Born in Rouen, he was educated by Jesuits, studied law, entered the Rouen parlement in 1629 (the year his first play was written), and was a member of that judicial body for 21 years. That he actually produced 20 plays while a member of parlement , and 12 afterward, is an indication of both his energy and his vitality.

Born June 6, 1606 in Rouen, France, to a family of lawyers, Pierre Corneille would follow in his father's footsteps. Educated by the Jesuits, he studied law and then entered the Rouen parlement in 1629. He would serve as the king's counselor in the local office of the department of waterways and forests for 21 years, and remarkably, he still found the time to write 20 plays during this period. After his retirement from the legal profession, he would write 12 more.
