Henry Bonaventure Monnier naît à Paris en 1805. Personnage truculent du 19e siècle, il va exercer son talent et sa verve dans les domaines artistiques les plus divers. Se révélant très doué pour le dessin, il quitte à 16 ans son emploi de petit gratte-papier chez un notaire pour aller travailler dans des ateliers célèbres, notamment celui du peintre Gros, qu'il doit bientôt quitter en raison de son esprit gouailleur et mystificateur. Très vite il est attiré par le dessin satirique et compose alors une série d'ouvrages ridiculisant les mœurs de l'époque, qu'il illustre de ses caricatures et de ses croquis pris sur le vif.

Ce chef-d'œuvre du théâtre populaire valut à son auteur une gloire immédiate. Le soir de la représentation générale, c'est un déluge d'applaudissements qui appellent Edmond Rostand sur scène. Ce succès ne s'est jamais démenti et Cyrano de Bergerac, héros tragique et attachant, est entré dans le patrimoine universel. Peut-être parce qu'il incarne superbement un mythe bien ancien : celui de l'amour et du bonheur impossible.

És la tercera peça de la trilogia mestra d'Àngel Guimerà: després de presentar el proletariat urbà a Maria Rosa i el rural a Terra baixa, el dramaturg retrata el món mariner, amb la barreja de minuciós realisme i xardorós romanticisme que el caracteritza. Els poderosos protagonistes (l'Àgata, en Pere Màrtir, la Mariona) són envoltats per un cor de personatges aparentment secundaris que representen la comunitat, l'opinió pública, la caixa de ressonància que amplifica i distorsiona els conflictes i en precipita el tràgic desenllaç.

Life in eighteenth-century England is vividly rendered as Evelina is educated in the ways of the world and, eventually, love.
