The Relation of Moliere to Restoration Comedy by John Wilcox is a book that explores the influence of French playwright Moliere on English Restoration comedy. The author analyzes the similarities and differences between Moliere's plays and those of the Restoration era, including the works of William Wycherley, George Etherege, and John Dryden. Wilcox examines the ways in which Moliere's themes, characters, and comedic techniques were adapted and transformed by Restoration playwrights, and how they helped to shape the development of English comedy. The book also delves into the cultural and political contexts of both French and English theater during the 17th century, providing a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Moliere and Restoration comedy. Overall, The Relation of Moliere to Restoration Comedy is a valuable resource for scholars and students of theater history and comparative literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
