Baroque Context

This is a website with an incredible overview of the Baroque Period in which Corneille was writing.   Included are themes of Baroque Art, the new idea of motion in art and the cosmos, and Corneille's response to the Church's denouncement of theater. 

Baroque was the age of theater and where the illusory representation was the most important part of the art.
