Saul le furieux is a tragic play attributed to the French Renaissance poet and dramatist Jean de la Taille. The piece forms part of the Stfm / Societe des Textes series, which aimed to make early modern French literature accessible to contemporary readers. First issued in paperback format in January 1968, the edition carries both ISBN‑10 2865031497 and ISBN‑13 9782865031498. While the text itself dates from the sixteenth century, this mid‑twentieth‑century printing presents the work with a clean layout and minimal editorial apparatus, allowing readers to engage directly with the original French language. The drama explores themes of fury, vengeance, and moral conflict, characteristic of the tragic output of the period. As a representative of early French tragedy, Saul le furieux offers insight into the evolution of dramatic forms before the rise of classical French theatre. Scholars and enthusiasts of Renaissance literature may find this edition useful for study, comparison, or simply for experiencing a lesser‑known work from the era.
