On ne badine pas avec l'amour : biographie de Musset

Born in 1810, the young Alfred de Musset was an effeminate aristocrat who was taught to read the classics and admire Napoleon. He improvised short plays from his earliest childhood, and eventually turned to directing in earnest. A romantic dandy haunted by the evils of the century, he published numerous plays whose distinctive feature was that they were not necessarily meant to be performed. But above all, he was a poète maudit, in every aspect of his life, and until his very end. For more information: LLS.fr/CL16Musset
