The Cambridge Companion to Moliere
Author: David Bradby
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139827294
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
A detailed introduction to Molière and his plays, this Companion evokes his own theatrical career, his theatres, patrons, the performers and theatre staff with whom he worked, and the various publics he and his troupes entertained with such success. It looks at his particular brands of comedy and satire. L'École des femmes, Le Tartuffe, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, L'Avare and Les Femmes savantes are examined from a variety of different viewpoints, and through the eyes of different ages and cultures. The comedies-ballets, a genre invented by Molière and his collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they held in his œuvre in Molière's own lifetime; his two masterpieces in this genre, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Le Malade imaginaire, have chapters to themselves. Finally, the Companion looks at modern directors' theatre, exploring the central role played by productions of his work in successive 'revolutions' in the dramatic arts in France.

Les femmes savantes
Author: Molière
Publisher: Gallimard Education
ISBN: 9782070409266
Category : Fiction
Languages : fr
Pages : 181
Book Description
Les femmes savantes, c'est le savoir devenu fou, donc comique. Bélise aime trop les romans, Philaminte trop le bel esprit. Une teinture de philosophie, ou de science, ne suffit jamais ; le snobisme n'épargne pas les hommes, pédants ridicules comme Vadius et Trissotin. Le pire est que les héros aiment comme ils savent, de loin. Molière a transformé ces modèles momentanés en types éternels, en ancêtres de Bouvard et Pécuchet.

Les femmes savantes

Publisher: LGF/Le Livre de Poche
ISBN: 9782253038740
Category : Fiction
Languages : fr
Pages : 190
Book Description
Les grandes pièces du répertoire : Modernisées dans leur présentation ; Préfacées par des gens de théâtre : acteurs, metteurs en scène et critiques ; Commentées et annotées par des universitaires, tous spécialistes du théâtre. Les femmes soulèvent à chaque époque - croyant l'inventer - la querelle de l'égalité des sexes, qui dure en vérité depuis que le monde est monde et a pris conscience qu'il existait entre eux une certaine différence. Dans Les Femmes savantes, Molière s'attaque cependant moins au beau sexe qu'aux cuistres des deux bords. Si Bélise ou Philaminte revendiquent un savoir qui leur encombre la langue sans leur pénétrer l'esprit, l'art et la science de Trissotin se résument également à un ridicule jargon mondain. Trissotins et trissotines : renvoyés dos à dos, enfin à égalité ! Avec peut-être...sûrement même, l'idée derrière la tête que si les hommes et les femmes sont égaux, ma foi, il en est de plus égaux que d'autres.

Moliere: The Complete Richard Wilbur Translations, Volume 2
Author: Moliere
Publisher: Library of America
ISBN: 1598537121
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
For the 400th anniversary of Moliere's birth, Richard Wilbur's unsurpassed translations of Molière's plays--themselves towering achievements in English verse--are brought together by Library of America in a two-volume edition One of the most accomplished American poets of his generation, Richard Wilbur (1921-2017) was also a prolific translator of French and Russian literature. His verse translations of Molière's plays are especially admired by readers and are still performed today in theaters around the world. "Wilbur," the critic John Simon once wrote, "makes Molière into as great an English verse playwright as he was a French one." Now, for the first time, all ten of Wilbur's unsurpassed translations of Molière's plays are brought together in two-volume Library of America edition, fulfilling the poet's vision for the translations. The second volume includes the elusive masterpiece, The Misanthrope, often said to occupy the same space in comedy as Shakespeare's Hamlet does in tragedy; the fantastic farce Amphitryon, about how Jupiter and Mercury commandeer the identities of two mortals ; Tartuffe, Molière's biting satire of religious hypocrisy; and The Learned Ladies, like Tarfuffe, a drama of a household turned suddenly upside down. This volume includes the original introductions by Richard Wilbur and a foreword by Adam Gopnik on the exquisite art of Wilbur's translations.

Moliere
Author: Andrew Calder
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0567042782
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
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.
