Question
This author claimed “I owe to myself alone all my fame” in his rambling, boastful poem “Excuse to Ariste” (“ah-REEST”). This author translated The Imitation of Christ during one of his several retirements, after which he defended his style in Three Discourses on Dramatic Poetry. A document titled for one organisation’s “sentiments” was compiled by Jean Chapelain after the publication of the first part of this writer’s “Classical Tetralogy”. A “war of (*) pamphlets” involving George de Scudery inflamed a scandal instigated by this author’s former patron Cardinal Richelieu after he wrote a play that violated the classical unities. Despite him having killed Don Gomes, Chimene (“shee-MEN”) agrees to marry the title character of a play by this author after he fights off a Moorish invasion. For 10 points, name this French playwright of Le Cid ■END■
