Rolland, Romain Edmé Paul Émile (1866–1944), French writer, awarded the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915. He is best known for his 10-volume
roman-fleuve Jean Christophe (1906–12), and he was a theorist of the theatre rather than a working playwright, his
Le Théâtre du peuple (1903) having a considerable influence on
Gémier. Two of his plays on the French Revolution,
Danton (1900) and
Le 14 juillet (1902), had some success, however, and the former was given a brilliant production by
Reinhardt in Berlin in 1919.
Robespierre, written in 1938, also had its first production in Germany, in Leipzig in 1952.
