Tartuffe and the Misanthrope (Hardcover)


Prudence Steiner's lively prose translations remain close to the original French, giving us the speech of the characters in a slightly compressed and formalized language that echoes the effect created by Moliere's verse. Roger Herzel's thoughtful Introduction discusses Moliere's life; Tartuffe , The Misanthrope , and the comic tradition; and the setting, casting, and style of the plays.
