Jean de Schelandre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean de Schelandre (born February 10, 1584 near Verdun , † October 18, 1635 in Azannes-et-Soumazannes , Département Meuse ) was a French writer.

Life

Schelandre (who comes from the German-speaking family: Thin von Schlanders ) fought as a Protestant nobleman in the Netherlands against the Spaniards and died of the long-term effects of his injuries. In 1608 he wrote a tragedy called Tyr et Sidon , which he reworked in 1628 in a second version into a tragic comedy . It represents an attempt at an unclassical play in Shakespeare style (with a sometimes coarse tone), whereby the (fruitless) rebellion against the incipient Classical music ( François de Malherbe ) is theoretically supported by a foreword by François Ogier (1597-1670). Despite some strong characters ( Kassandra ), the piece has only recently been appreciated.
