A detailed introduction to Molière and his plays, this Companion
evokes his own theatrical career, his theatres, patrons, the
performers and theatre staff with whom he worked, and the various
publics he and his troupes entertained with such success. It looks
at his particular brands of comedy and satire. L''?cole des femmes,
Le Tartuffe, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, L''Avare and Les Femmes
savantes are examined from a variety of different viewpoints, and
through the eyes of different ages and cultures. The
comedies-ballets, a genre invented by Molière and his
collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they
held in his ?uvre in Molière''s own lifetime; his two masterpieces
in this genre, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Le Malade imaginaire,
have chapters to themselves. Finally, the Companion looks at modern
directors'' theatre, exploring the central role played by
productions of his work in successive ''revolutions'' in the dramatic
arts in France.
