Madame La Mort and Other Plays

by Rachilde

Book Overview

Rachilde was the pseudonym of Marguerite Eymery Vallette (1860-1953), a woman of powerful personality who had a significant influence on the course of French and Western literature and theater. Rachilde's sexual politics and sardonic humor make her plays more interesting and performable today. All but lost to contemporary audiences, her extraordinary work offers the shock of relevance and freshness of discovery.
