Alfred de Musset (1810-57) is regarded in France as the most significant dramatist of the first half of the 19th century. The seven plays in this collection including "Marianne", "Fantasio", "Don't Trifle with Love", "The Candlestick", and "A Diversion" share a light-hearted tone, though with occasional and unexpected moments of seriousness.
