Description

Molière excels in farce as well as in higher comedy, and 'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac' is one of the best of its kind. The attacks upon the doctors of the time are not exaggerated. Molière acted the part of Mr. De Pourceaugnac.

Author

Molière (1622–1673), born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, is the great comic dramatist of the French language — actor, poet, and company manager who wrote Tartuffe, The Bourgeois Gentleman, and The Imaginary Invalid. His plays mock hypocrisy, pretension, and the body that will not behave, and they still fill the Comédie-Française more often than any other playwright.
