This Oxford World’s Classics edition of Cyrano de Bergerac, translated by playwright Christopher Fry and introduced by Nicholas Cronk, presents Edmond Rostand’s beloved verse drama in a lively and faithful English rendering. Combining romance, wit, and poetic bravado, the play follows the charismatic but self-conscious Cyrano as he navigates love, honor, and sacrifice in 17th-century France. Fry’s rhyming couplets preserve the energy and elegance of the original French, while the critical apparatus provides readers with historical and literary context for one of modern theatre’s most enduring works.
