Book Description

That Was Balzac: A Play in Eight Episodes with a Prologue is a 1930s play script, here presented in first edition. George Middleton (1880-1967) was an American playwright, director and producer. This play acts as a homage as Middleton delves into Balzac via an extensive study of the autobiographical content of his work and letters.
