Cyrano: Swordsman, Libertin, and Man-of-Letters

viii, 308 pp. 8vo. Original black cloth, paper labels on spine & front board, the latter bearing a caricature of Cyrano and his hawkish nose - a similar illustration decorates the title page. Endpapers, appropriately, are French blue. A biography of the 17th century French dramatist and duelist now more immediately recognizable as the subject of the late 19th century play by Edmond Rostand.
