About this book

Written in French, this first volume of Molière's complete works is an 1888 Paris edition prepared by Philarète Chasles of the Collège de France for Calmann Lévy. It begins with a biographical essay headed by the dates 15 January 1622 and 17 February 1673.

The essay says Molière left almost no records of his own life, so legend gathered around him. It names Grimarest, who wrote a life of him thirty-two years after his death, tells the anecdote of Boileau answering Louis XIV that Molière was the greatest writer of the reign, and traces the subject of Tartuffe to Lucretius.

Molière

Molière, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-1673), was the leading comic playwright and actor of the age of Louis XIV. His satires of hypocrisy, pretension, and folly, among them Tartuffe, The Misanthrope, and The Miser, remain cornerstones of the French theatrical tradition.
