The Cambridge Companion to Moliere - David Bradby and Andrew Calder (eds.). Published by Cambridge University Press, Paperback, 2006. A detailed introduction to Moliere 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'ecole 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 Moliere and his collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they held in his oeuvre in Moliere'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. Condition: Good. The pages are clean and tightly bound. Some light foxing is to be found around the page edges, especially the top and fore-edge. The cover is a little curved at the top outside corners front and back and there are a few score marks and dents.
