Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Moliere written by David Bradby and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed introduction to Molière and his plays, this Companion evokes his own theatrical career, his theatres, patrons, the performers and theatre staff with whom he worked, and the various publics he and his troupes entertained with such success. It looks at his particular brands of comedy and satire. L'École des femmes, Le Tartuffe, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, L'Avare and Les Femmes savantes are examined from a variety of different viewpoints, and through the eyes of different ages and cultures. The comedies-ballets, a genre invented by Molière and his collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they held in his œuvre in Molière's own lifetime; his two masterpieces in this genre, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Le Malade imaginaire, have chapters to themselves. Finally, the Companion looks at modern directors' theatre, exploring the central role played by productions of his work in successive 'revolutions' in the dramatic arts in France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle-Class Gentleman written by Molière in 1670, is a delightful comedy that satirizes social climbing and the pretensions of the middle class. The play revolves around Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy tradesman who dreams of becoming an aristocrat and immersing himself in the trappings of high society. Through hilarious encounters with various characters, including a philosopher, a music master, and a master of arms, Jourdain's naivety and gullibility are laid bare. The play cleverly explores themes of social ambition, class distinction, and the notion that true nobility cannot be bought or imitated. Molière's witty dialogue and comedic timing add to the play's charm, providing audiences with uproarious laughter while offering a sharp critique of societal conventions. This story remains a timeless work, resonating with audiences across generations. Molière's astute observations of human folly and his masterful blend of satire and humor make this play a true comedic gem, continuing to entertain and enlighten readers about the foibles of social pretensions.

Book excerpt: The Middle Class Gentleman (Le Bourgeois gentilhomme) is a five-act com�die-ballet-a play intermingled with music, dance and singing-written by Moli�re, first presented on 14 October 1670.The play satirizes attempts at social climbing and the bourgeois personality, poking fun both at the vulgar, pretentious middle-class and the vain, snobbish aristocracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of the 17th century, the dramatic arts reached a pinnacle of development in France; but despite the volumes devoted to the literature and theatre of the ancien régime, historians have largely neglected the importance of music and dance.

Download or read book Distant Reading written by Franco Moretti and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a literary historian end up thinking in terms of z-scores, principal component analysis, and clustering coefficients? The essays in Distant Reading led to a new and often contested paradigm of literary analysis. In presenting them here Franco Moretti reconstructs his intellectual trajectory, the theoretical influences over his work, and explores the polemics that have often developed around his positions. From the evolutionary model of "Modern European Literature," through the geo-cultural insights of "Conjectures of World Literature" and "Planet Hollywood," to the quantitative findings of "Style, inc." and the abstract patterns of "Network Theory, Plot Analysis," the book follows two decades of conceptual development, organizing them around the metaphor of "distant reading," that has come to define-well beyond the wildest expectations of its author-a growing field of unorthodox literary studies.
