An edition of The heirs of Moliere (2003)

The heirs of Molière

four French comedies of the 17th and 18th centuries

by , , , and

"This volume contains four representative French comedies of the period from the death of Moliere to the French Revolution." "Translated in a poetic form that seeks to capture the wit and spirit of the originals, these four plays suggest something of the range of the Moliere inheritance, from comedy of character through the highly popular sentimental comedy of the mid eighteenth century, to comedy that employs the Moliere tradition for more contemporary political ends." "In addition to their humor, these comedies provide social documents that show changing ideas about such perennial social concerns as class, gender, and politics through the turbulent century that ended in the revolutions that gave birth to the modern era."--BOOK JACKET.
