He is also known for his early comedic success The Romancers, which inspired the 1960 Off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks. Especially with Cyrano, but also with The Princess Far-Away, The Eaglet and Chanticleer, Rostand is credited with reviving romance and heroism on a turn-of-the-century French stage dominated by realism. Although the theater community had doubts about its value, Cyrano’s success solidified Rostand’s position in Parisian social circles, and in 1901, he became the youngest member admitted into the French Academy. On December 28, 1897, Cyrano opened at the Porte Saint-Martin Theatre in Paris. One of his poems laments that France no longer admires the spirit of the knight-errant - a theme he repeated in Cyrano de Bergerac.

The French public became aware of Rostand in 1890 when he published his poetry collection, Les Musardises. While studying law in college, he also pursued his literary interests by writing plays and poems. View MoreĮdmond Rostand was born April 1, 1868, in Marseille, France.
