First English edition of Gheon’s plays:The Comedian (Trans: Alan Bland)The marriage of St Francis ITrans: C.J. Martindale)The marvellous history of St Bernard (Trans: Barry Jackson)Gheon’s work examines Christian belief through his plays but his theatre loses nothing in comparison with other major French playwrights including Anouilh and Giraudoux and he anticipates the work of Dario Fo in reinventing the medieval mystery play.Condition is fair with some marking and creasing to the boards and foxing on the endpapers. Clean throughout and tightly bound.
