Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plays of Moliere, Vol. 1 The history of the life, all too short, of this celebrated man1 does not need, in order to make it interesting, the frivolous details and gossiping stories which have hitherto dis figured it. We shall here relate, as to his personal life, only such facts as have been shown, up to the present time, to be true. As for his immortal works, we here reprint them; civilized nations have judged them, and we refrain from all comment on their value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Moliere, Vol. 1: Rendered Into English It is always difficult to state when a playwright has taken from any other author, for the saying, yo proud: mon oz'on partout ou jo lo from/o, has covered, and still covers, a multitude of literary sins. More over, Moliere possessed a power of absorption and assimilation which enabled him so to vivify the ma terials he borrowed that they became new creations of incomparable value. In this sense, to take an idea or a mere thought from another author can hardly be called an imitation; and though Moliere, in his first two or three plays, translated several scenes from Italian authors, he has scarcely ever done so in his latter pieces. To mention which of his comedies I consider, or rather which are generally thought, the best, would be difficult, where everything is so emi nent; for in all his plays characters will be found which demonstrate his thorough knowledge of human nature, and display his genius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Moliere, Vol. 1: Memoir; The Blunderer; The Love-Tiff Moliere's path was by no means an easy one to tread; the following anecdote may serve as another illustration of the fact. The king's body guards, and other household troops, had formerly been allowed to see the play for nothing, and Moliere, who was doubtless more troubled by the abuse of paper than are the managers of to-day, was urged by his company to Obtain the removal of this privilege from the king. His request was granted; but the change gave great umbrage to the soldiers. They came down to the house in a body, killed the door-keeper, and uttered loud threats against the actors. On the next day the king had them drawn up on parade, and sent for Moliere to harangue them. This he did with so much tact and good humor, and he gave them such excellent reasons why they should pay for their seats like gentlemen, and leave the free admissions for such as could not afford a trifle, that they made no further difficulty in the matter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Moliere, Vol. 2 of 6 The comedy of the Romantic Ladies deserves to be marked among the best of Moliere's performances, although it is not one of the best with regard to the plot. He ventured, in this piece, to forsake the common path of complicated intrigues, to lead us in a comic road, first known by him. The main end of a good comedy appeared to him to be, to criticise the follies and manners which were peculiar to his time. The passion for wit, or rather the abuse they made of it, was a kind of contagious malady then in fashion. The forced bombast style in romances, which the woman admired for the very reasons which have since discredited those works, had got into conversation: In a word, both the quality and common people were affected; and at this conjuncture did the comedy of the Romantic Ladies make its appearance; never was greater success known; the prodigious number of spectators made the company demand double prices at the second representation of it, and the piece run for four months together: It produced a general reformation, people saw themselves in it, laughed, and gave the truest applause to it by forsaking their folly. Mr. Menage, who assisted at the first representation, said to Chapelaine, "You and I both approved of all these follies which have been now so excellently and so sensibly criticized; believe me, we must burn what we have admired, and admire what we have burnt."
