Описание:

Originally published in 1963. Moliиres plays rank among the great comic achievements in the history of the stage. Yet few attempts have been made to understand them as expressing the historical context of the authors time. Most frequently they have been interpreted from the point of view of purely literary history, while the characters have been seen as universal comic types. Lionel Gossman reappraises Moliиres comedy in the light of historical experience and interprets it in terms of the conditions from which it emerged. He brings it into the mainstream of seventeenth-century French literature and shows that Moliиre was concerned with the same things that concerned Descartes, Corneille, Racine, or Pascal. Five comedies (Amphitryon, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, Le Tartuffe, and George Dandin) are studied in the first part of the book. A number of basic structures are found to be common to all of them, and these give the author his point of departure for the second part of the book.

In the second part, Gossman examines Moliиres position with respect to other major seventeenth-century French writers. The comic vision of Moliиre, Gossman argues, no less than the tragic vision of Pascal or of Racine, expresses a particular relation to the social structure of the time. The subject matter of Moliиres comedy is thus, in the authors view, not universal human nature but the men and women of the society in which Moliиre lived. Indeed, Gossman goes on to argue that the development of society after Moliиre made it difficult, and in the end impossible, for later writers to see the world in the comic light that illuminated Moliиres writing. Even in certain of Moliиres own works, in fact, the comic vision shades into something close to Romantic irony.
