This edition gives a side-by-side parallel translation of Moliere
's Tartuffe using Curtis Hidden Page 's translation. Tartuffe was
first performed in 1664 and is one of the most famous theatrical
comedies, the characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Valere are among
the greatest classical theatre roles. Following the first
performance, it was censored by King Louis XIV, probably due to the
influence of the archbishop of Paris, who was the King's confessor.
Due to Moliere's play, contemporary French and English both use the
word "tartuffe" to describe a hypocrite who superficially feigns
virtue. The play is written entirely in 1,962 twelve-syllable lines
(alexandrines) of rhyming couplets.
