Molière, M. Felix Lemaistre - Œuvres complètes de Molière - 1880

A charming illustrated edition that follows the tradition of the great literary collections of the 19th century, aimed at providing the cultivated public with a convenient and refined access to French classics.

This edition brings together the entire theater of Molière — comedies in one, three, or five acts, juvenile farces, major mature works such as Tartuffe, Dom Juan, The Misanthrope, The Miser, The Learned Women, or The Imaginary Invalid — as well as lesser-performed plays, sometimes accompanied by introductory notes and a succinct critical apparatus.

The organization generally follows a chronological or thematic order, allowing for the tracing of the evolution of Molière's comic art, from popular farce to comedy of character and manners, where social satire, moral critique, and psychological subtlety intertwine.
