Molière - Œuvres de Molière - 1749

Fascinating together, illustrated by this major publishing company of the 18th century, which aims to offer a complete, refined, and bibliophile edition of the playwright's theatrical corpus.

It brings together all of the comedies, from youthful farces to the great classical plays (Tartuffe, The Misanthrope, The Miser, The Bourgeois Gentleman, The Learned Ladies, The Hypochondriac), arranging them according to a chronological and thematic logic that allows for tracking the evolution of Molière's style and concerns.

Le Clerc cares for the material presentation: clear typography, quality paper, sturdy bindings, and sometimes engraved ornaments, which place the edition within the tradition of fine collections aimed at enlightened enthusiasts.

The text is accompanied by prefaces and critical notices that place the pieces within their historical and aesthetic context, while highlighting the moral and social significance of Molière's satire.
