Robert Garnier , born with the Ferté-Bernard (the Sarthe) in 1545 and died in the Mans the September 20th 1590, is a Poète and Dramaturge French.

Biography

He makes his studies of Droit to Toulouse where he obtains the violet (2nd price), then the wild rose (1st price) with the floral Jeux in 1564 and 1566. These prices reward two royal songs which have as a subject the return of peace in France. It also composes three inscriptions and three Sonnet S for the entry of the Court in the city (February 1565). The collection of poems in love the Complaints in love is lost.

Garnier is then prosecuting attorney of the King to the Parlement of Paris (1567), year when it publishes the Hymne of monarchy , dedicated with Guy Of Faur de Pibrac.

He is the author of parts on Roman subject, thus taking part in the birth like the ancient Tragédie, with ( Porcie , 1568, Cornélie , 1574, Marc Antoine , 1578), on Greek subject ( Hippolyte , 1573, Troade , 1579, Antigone , 1580) and of a tragedy on biblical subject ( Jewish the , 1583). Garnier is also the author of a Tragi-comédie, Bradamante (1582), inspired by the furious Roland of the Arioste.

After Etienne Jodelle, Garnier is that which revives the ancient tragedy in France. Its parts will incarnate, with the eyes of the historians of the literature, the apogee of the humanistic tragedy as well from a point of view of the beauty of the worms, effort rhetoric, as of the moral and didactic ambition of its parts. Inter alia models, he writes “with the mould” Sénèque, like the majority of the tragedies of the French Renaissance.

Its theater is strongly marked by rhetoric. The action imports there less than the word. The “Roman parts”, which treat civil wars of ancient Rome, echo the wars of religion, already perennializing the political reflection on the exercise of the royal capacity within the tragedy. When he writes Marc Antoine , Garnier competes with famous the Cléopâtre captivates Etienne Jodelle.

The collective last edition re-examined by Garnier goes back to 1585 (by Mamert Patisson, printer of the king, at Robert Estienne).

Today, the college of the Ferté-Bernard (the Sarthe) bears his name.
