Description: Hilda Norman SWINDLERS AND ROGUES IN FRENCH DRAMA. Chicago; University of Chicago Press. 1928. 259 pp. The French money-play, with its amusing get-rich-quick schemas and its many rogues and swindlers, dates back to the days of the Gran Monarch and the theater of Moliere. The fancy of more than one dramatist was caught by the intrigue of the crafty financiers and speculators of the day.This phase of French drama is for the first time the subject of a book in English. Miss Norman has made use of some one hundred and eighty-five plays in which amusing characters figure, and she traces the money question through three centuries of vaudevilles, comedies, and dramas.
