'Why does he write those ghastly plays that the whole of Paris
flocks to see? And why does he paint such lifelike portraits that
everyone recognizes themselves?' Moliere, The Impromptu at
Versailles This volume brings together four of Moliere's greatest
verse comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing
career. Actor, director, and playwright, Moliere (1622-73) was one
of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at
portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. The School for
Wives was his first great success; Tartuffe, condemned and banned
for five years, his most controversial play. The Misanthrope is his
acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and
perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection
includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defence of his
theatre, in the form of two sparkling short plays, The School for
Wives Criticized and The Impromptu at Versailles. Moliere's prose
plays are available in a complementary Oxford World's Classics
edition, Don Juan and Other Plays. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
