The authoress, a scientific worker of the 'Societe d'Histoire du Theatre' in Paris deals with the history of the French theatre of the 20th century. She is an authoress of the monography on Leon Chancerel. In her contribution she reminds a great response provoked by work of Jacques Copeau in the French and European theatre. Mainly it is his clear - cut conception purifying the stage from excessive decorativeness, aiming at simple, frank dramatic art, supporting ascetic theatre life. Using this approach Jacues Copeau was fighting against the decadent magazine theatre. The authoress is as one of the few French historians alleging also limitations of the Copeau's conception. Due to his puristic conception international stimuli were declined, which were then being applied in the European theatre - German expressionism and Russian constructivism.
