Memoirs of the very famous tragedienne Hyppolyte de la Tude Clairon 1723-1803 who was revered by the greatest figures Diderot Voltaire Louis XV. The actress was not content with her success alone but contributed to the profound regeneration of French theater. Marmontel was her lover and encouraged her to abandon the declamatory style. The portrait of Mlle Dumesnil who was long her rival contains great acrimony. The work is not composed like classical memoirs but rather as a succession of articles and chapters addressing different themes more or less personal; one will find letters critiques of plays.
