It looks at his particular brands of comedy and satire. L'E?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 Molie?re and his collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they held in his ?uvre in Molie?re'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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a842/.4 702 $aBradby$b David 702 $aCalder$b Andrew$f1942- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216553203316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Moliere$92493474 997 $aUNISA
