The Dramatic Works of Molie`re, Vol. 1

Pages : 462
Book Description
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Molie re, Vol. 1: Rendered Into English It is always difficult to state when a playwright has taken from any other author, for the saying, Je prends mon bien partout mi je le trouve, has covered, and still covers, a multitude of literary sins. Moreover, Moliere possessed a power of absorption and assimilation which enabled him so to vivify the materials 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 men tion which of his comedies I consider, or rather which are generally thought, the best, would be difficult, where every thing is so eminent; for in all his plays characters will be found which demonstrate his thorough knowledge of nature, and display his genius. To discover these little peculiarities in which the specific difference of character consists; to dis tinguish between what men do from custom or fashion, and what they perform through their own natural idiosyncracy to select, unite, and draw these peculiarities to a dramatic point, demands real genius, and that of the highest order.

The Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other Plays
Author: Molière
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191623156
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 775
Book Description
'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.
