In 1664, Moliere's Tartuffe was banned from public performance.
This book provides a detailed, in-depth account of the five-year
struggle (1664-69) to have the ban lifted and, so doing, sheds
important new light on 1660s France and the ancien regime more
broadly. By drawing on theatrical and non-theatrical writings
(including contemporary sermons, treatises, and memoirs), it
changes the terms of the debate by challenging received notions
regarding the opposition between the sincere believer (vrai devot)
and the hypocrite (faux devot). "Tartuffe" was a key locus for the
struggle for influence among competing political and religious
factions during the early reign of Louis XIV, and the lifting of
the ban in 1669 is understood as an act of political assertion on
the part of an increasingly confident king.
