In the course of this study, the author outlines a fresh theory of classical comedy which applies to the works of other French writers of the 17th century; and the historical reinterpretations of MoliFre's two most difficult plays -- Le Tartuffe and Dom Juan -- break entirely new ground.Although this is a work which specialists will admire, it is also intended to 606 $aFrench drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aFrench drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 615 0$aFrench drama$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aFrench drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 676 $a842/.4 700 $aCalder$b Andrew$f1942-$0778101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970510503321 996 $aMoliere$94447352 997 $aUNINA
