Description

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name of Moliere, stands without a rival at the head of French comedy.

Born at Paris in January, 1622, where his father held a position in the royal household, he was educated at the Jesuit College de Clermont, and for some time studied law, which he soon abandoned for the stage.

His life was spent in Paris and in the provinces, acting, directing performances, managing theaters, and writing plays.

He had his share of applause from the king and from the public; but the satire in his comedies made him many enemies, and he was the object of the most venomous attacks and the most impossible slanders.

Nor did he find much solace at home; for he married unfortunately, and the unhappiness that followed increased the bitterness that public hostility had brought into his life. "The Misanthrope," considered to be one of Moliere's greatest works, is a truly original and sophisticated dramatic comedy.
