About this book
A dedication to Constance-Victoire explains the aim of this novel: to show the modern hypocrite in action, with Molière's Tartuffe as a distant model. The story moves among Parisian middle-class households, including the Thuilliers and the worthy Phellions, and the moneylender Cerizet, whom one chapter calls the banker of the poor. Part one is titled The Lesser Bourgeois of Paris, part two The Parvenus. Katharine Prescott Wormeley made the English version.
