This volume brings together four of Moliere's greatest verse comedies covering the best years of his prolific writing career. Actor, director, and playwright, Moliere (1622-73) was one of the finest and most influential French dramatists, adept at portraying human foibles and puncturing pomposity. 'The School for Wives' was his first great success; 'Tartuffe', condemned and banned for five years, his most controversial play. 'The Misanthrope' is his acknowledged masterpiece, and 'The Clever Women' his last, and perhaps best-constructed, verse piece. In addition this collection includes a spirited attack on his enemies and a defence of his theatre, in the form of two sparkling short plays, 'The School for Wives Criticized' and 'The Impromptu at Versailles'. Moliere's prose plays are available in a complementary Oxford World's Classics edition, 'Don Juan and Other Plays'.
