Book Description

Perhaps the most influential and widely studied French dramatist, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Moliere (1622-73), shaped 17th-century drama through his comedies. This reference provides the English-speaking reader with a comprehensive guide to his life and legacy. A chronology outlines the chief events in his life and his contributions to the stage. This is followed by hundreds of alphabetically arranged entries on topics related to his life and works. Included are entries for individual characters, plays, and historical persons, as well as for his allusions, influences, cultural institutions, and other topics. Many of the entries list works for further reading, and the volume concludes with a bibliography.
