The School for Wives concerns an insecure man who contrives to show the world how to rig an infallible alliance by marrying the perfect bride; The Learned Ladies centers on the domestic calamities wrought by a domineering woman upon her husband, children, and household. “Wilbur...makes Molière into as great an English verse playwright as he was a French one” (John Simon, New York). Introductions by Richard Wilbur.
This single volume contains two of Molière’s most enduring comedies, each presented in a brilliant verse translation:
- A Battle of Wits: Follow the scheming Arnolphe as his years-long plan to marry a simple-minded girl is brilliantly outmaneuvered by young love and natural ingenuity.
- Satire of Pretentious Intellectuals: Witness the chaos as Philaminte's obsession with philosophy and poetry threatens to tear her family apart, leading to a clash over her daughter's future.
- Acclaimed English Verse: Experience Molière's timeless humor and sharp social commentary through the celebrated poetry of two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Wilbur.
- Insightful Introductions: Gain deeper context for each classic French play with comprehensive introductions written by the translator.
