« ON NE BADINE PAS AVEC L’AMOUR » : LE DRAME DE LA COMÉDIE ROMANTIQUE
“WE DO NOT JOKE WITH LOVE”: THE ROMANTIC COMEDY DRAMA

Summary/Abstract: The poem is the favourite genre of the Romanticism. The other genres, less known, are also representative for the characteristic features of this artistic and intellectual movement of the 19th century. The most famous romantic poets also wrote novels and plays. This is the case for Alfred de Musset whose plays were performed during his lifetime or after his death. On ne badine pas avec l’amour is one of them and it shows the innovations of the Romantic theatre compared to the 17th century classic theatre and to the 18th century theatre in its intention to introduce the lyrism and the diversity, at all levels, in the literary creation.
