Dumas, Alexandre, 1824-1895

The letters, most of which are undated, were written between September 10, 1869 and December 15, 1894. These limits are not exact; it is unlikely that any letter in this group was written before the first date, but some of the notes may come from the months after December 1894. The works chiefly concerned are Dumas' La femme de Claude and La route de Thebes, the first of which was dedicated to Favre. The letters show how important Dr. Favre's friendship and counsel were to Dumas, and in the correspondence one can trace the evolution of the dramatist's technique of the theater.
