About this book
Two sisters disagree about marriage in the first scene: Armande scorns it and urges philosophy, while Henriette hopes for a marriage of affection. Molière's comedy Les Femmes savantes is given here in Charles Heron Wall's English prose translation, with short introductions and explanatory notes.
The cast includes Chrysale, an honest bourgeois, his wife Philaminte, his sister Bélise, the wit Trissotin and the learned Vadius. Molière first staged the five-act play in 1672 and took the part of Chrysale himself.
