I. SUJETS DE COMPOSITIONS

The foUowing topics, some of which are taken from Horion's

Explication du théâtre français^ are intended to give the student

written drill on the tragedy itself and on some of the subjects

j discussed in the Introduction. Other topics will readily suggest

themselves to the teacher.

1. La tragédie avant Corneille. (Voir V Introduction^ pp. vii-ix.)

2. Les innovations faites dans la tragédie par Corneille. (Ib., pp. xii-xiv.)
