The Misanthrope is his acknowledged masterpiece, and The Clever Women his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. The School for Wives was his first great success Tartuffe, condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. Actor, director, and playwright, Molière (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. This unique volume brings together four of Molière's greatest verse comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career.
