Cliffsnotes Literature Guides: Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (Paperback)

"Including introduction and life of Rostand, list of characters, synopsis of the play, summaries and commentaries, character analyses and critical commentaries, review questions and essay topics, bibliography." This is the famous 19th-century play about a great swordsman and poet with the unseemly large nose. Although he is feared by opponents, he cannot court the woman of his dreams, except through anonymously sent poems, which makes for a romantic and adventurous tale.
