Book excerpt: Moliere was the stage name used by Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-73), the French playwright, actor and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and universal literature. His works include comedies, farces, tragi-comedies, comedie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major language and are performed more often at the Comedie Francaise than those of any other playwright. After 13 years as an itinerant actor which helped him polish his comic abilities he began writing, combining Commedia dell'arte elements with the more refined French comedy. Through the patronage of aristocrats including Louis XIV's brother, Philippe I, Duke of Orleans, Moliere secured a command performance before the King and was later granted the use of the theatre at the Palais-Royal, his plays finding great favour among Parisians. His troupe, given the title Troupe du Roi (The King's Troupe), was given a royal pension and Moliere became the official author of court entertainments. His major works include Le Medecin volant (The Flying Doctor), Les Precieuses ridicules (The Affected Young Ladies), L'ecole des femmes (The School for Wives), and Le Misanthrope ou L'Atrabilaire amoureux (The Misanthrope, or, The Cantankerous Lover). Les Femmes savant (The Learned Ladies) is a comedy in five acts first performed at the Theatre du Palais-Royal on 11 March 1672 with Molière acting the part of Chrysale. Written in verse in the original French, it is a satire on academic pretension, female education, and 'preciousness', and is one of Moliere's most popular comedies. This edition is a translation into English prose by Charles Heron Wall (1836-1905), who also provided the notes.
Download or read book Moliere written by Andrew Calder and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of ideas provides an important means of understanding and reinterpreting the literature of the past; and in this study Dr. Calder demonstrates the illumination that this informed approach brings to the comedies of MoliFre. In the course of this study, the author outlines a fresh theory of classical comedy which applies to the works of other French writers of the 17th century; and the historical reinterpretations of MoliFre's two most difficult plays -- Le Tartuffe and Dom Juan -- break entirely new ground.Although this is a work which specialists will admire, it is also intended to serve as an introduction to MoliFre and French classical comedy at large and will be of considerable value to younger students and readers of MoliFre in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Les Femmes Savantes, Comedie En Cinq Actes, 11 Mars, 1672: The Learned Ladies, a Comedy in Five Acts, March 11, 1672 The Learned Ladies ended the war begun by The Affected Misses, against intellectual snobbishness, bad taste, and affectation of all sorts. Between these two plays, separated by an interval of less than twelve years and a half, lies the whole career of Moliere, and in the contrast between them, nearly alike as are the subjects treated, lies the range of Moliere's great and rapid development as a comic dramatist and as a critic of life. Though he had attacked worse vices in Tartuffe and pictured higher virtues in The Misanthrope, though he had gone deeper in Don Juan and The Miser, and his humour had been broader in The Tradesman Turned Gentleman and The Doctor by Compulsion, yet in this next to the last of his plays he shows an ease, breadth, and sureness in character-drawing and in picturing the manners of his time, a command of technique both in the dramatic construction of the play as a whole and in the detailed presentation of each scene and character, in short a complete mastery of his material and his means of expression, such as he had hardly attained before. The greater seriousness and significance of his work has brought with it hardly any apparent loss of gayety or spontaneity, while his humour has grown richer, and his attack upon contemporary foibles and shams far bolder. The age had developed as well as Moliere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
