Le tragedie di Pierre Brumoy: fra teatro di scuola e ripresa della tragédie sainte

[Machine translation] The most important text by the French Jesuit Pierre Brumoy is undoubtedly the Théâtre des Grecs of 1730, which had a profound influence on the reading and rewriting of classical theater texts in Europe. Less well-known is his theatrical production, to which the author chooses to dedicate himself in the final phase of his life and which, in part, is intended to be an explanation of the theories illustrated in the Théâtre des Grecs. Brumoy published five works (two tragedies: Isac and Jonathas, or Le Triomphe del'Amitié; a pastoral one: Le Couronnement du jeune David and two comedies: La boëte de Pandore, ou La curiosité pune e Plutus) in the fourth volume of a collection of texts entitled Recueil de divers ouvrages en prose et en vers, published in 1741. The objective of this work is to analyze religious pieces that can be used to explore an interesting and unstudied aspect of the figure of Brumoy.
