Molière Mocked: Three Contemporary Hostile Comedies [French]

One of the most colorful episodes in Moli re's career was the so-called Comic War, that controversy provoked by the successful production of L' cole des Femmes at a time when Moli re was seeking to establish himself as a leading comic playwright of his day. Among the ultimately unsuccessful attempts by rival dramatists to discredit him and his theater, the three comedies published here were particularly notable. Included in this volume are Donneau de Vis 's Z linde (1663); Boursault's Le portrait du peintre (1663); and Le Boulanger de Chalussay's lomire hypocondre (1670).
