Book Description
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Molière, Vol. 2 of 3 It was in this beautiful place that on the fifth of May all the Court met, and that the King treated above six hundred persons till the fourteenth, not reckoning a great number of persons necessary in the dancing and in the play, besides all kinds of workmen who came from Paris; so that they looked like a small army. The very heavens appeared to favour his Majesty's designs, since in a season in which it almost always rains, there was only a slight wind, which seemed to rise solely in order to show that the King's foresight and power were proof against the greatest inconveniences. High cloths, wooden buildings, run up almost in an instant, and a prodigious number of torches of white wax, to supply daily the place of above four thousand wax Can dles, resisted the wind, which everywhere else would have rendered these diversions almost impracticable.

Book Description
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."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Moliere, Vol. 6 Whilst the King and the whole Court were in Flanders in 1671, Moliere wished to produce a new play for the theatre of the Palais Royal, then freshly decorated, and he wrote The Rogueries of Scapin, which was performed on the 24th of May of the same year, and met with great success. It has been said that Moliere wrote his farces to please the people: but with the exception of this comedy and The Physician in Spite of Himself, all his farces were written for, and first performed before the Court. This comedy, in three acts, is partly classical, partly Italian, and partly French, and the character of Scapin enlivens the whole. Scapin is a master rogue, who robs, steals, and perjures himself; but all this in the most good-natured way imaginable. He cheats, not to benefit himself, but to be of advantage to Leander and Octave; he makes a fool of Geronte and Argante, merely to keep his hand in, and thrashes the first in revenge for having told a falsehood of him. Such a love for truth is wonderful in a man like Scapin, whose intense roguery, fertile imagination, and gigantic impudence can exist only on the stage, but would soon reap in real life their well-deserved reward. The greater part of this play is taken from Terence's Phormio; or, the Scheming Parasite, of which the following is the subject. Antipho, the son of Demipho, an Athenian, sees by accident Phanium, the unknown daughter of his uncle Chremes, and by the advice of Phormio, a parasite, marries her by trickery. Shortly after, his father and uncle return upon the same day, and are much vexed on hearing of this marriage. Phaedria, the son of Chremes, wishes to raise some money to purchase a music-girl with whom he is in love; and Geta, a servant of Demipho, and Phormio arrange that the former shall pretend to the old man that Phormio has consented to take back the woman whom Antipho has married, if Demipho will give her a portion of thirty minae. The latter gives the money to Phaedria, who buys the girl. At this conjuncture, it becomes known that the wife of Antipho is really the daughter of Chremes; and they wish to get back the money from Phormio, who refuses, and finally betrays to Nausistrata, the Athenian wife of Chremes, the intrigue which the latter had carried on at Lemnos with the mother of Phanium. The details of Moliere's comedy are either from French or Italian origin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
