Sinopsis

Aún no disponible en español — se muestra la versión en inglés.

Cinq-Mars is an 1826 historical novel by the French writer Alfred de Vigny. It portrays the rebellious conspiracy of Henri Coiffier de Ruzé, Marquis of Cinq-Mars during the reign of Louis XIII. Cinq-Mars unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the Chief Minister Cardinal Richelieu and was executed. This and other early French historical novels A Chronicle of the Reign of Charles IX (1829) and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) were inspired by the popularity of British author Walter Scott's Waverley novels in France. It was de Vigny's only novel and also reflected the Gothic tone of the works of Ann Radcliffe. Several artists produced paintings based on the novel over the next few years including Claudius Jacquand and Paul Delaroche's who painted The State Barge of Cardinal Richelieu on the Rhône in 1829. The 1877 opera Cinq-Mars composed by Charles Gounod was also inspired by the novel.
