The Influence of Moliere on Restoration Comedy by Dudley Howe Miles is a comprehensive study of the impact of French playwright Moliere on the development of English Restoration comedy. Miles examines the ways in which Moliere's plays, particularly his use of satire and social commentary, influenced the works of Restoration playwrights such as William Congreve, George Etherege, and John Vanbrugh. The book also explores the cultural and political context in which these plays were written and performed, and how they reflected and shaped the attitudes of Restoration society. With detailed analysis of specific plays and their themes, as well as comparisons between French and English theatrical traditions, The Influence of Moliere on Restoration Comedy offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the interplay between two major theatrical movements of the late 17th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
