Moliere in Context by Jan Clarke

Moliere in Context by Jan Clarke

The definitive guide to Molière's world and his afterlife, this is an accessible contextual guide for academics, undergraduates and theatre professionals alike. Interdisciplinary and diverse in scope, each chapter offers a different perspective on the social, cultural, intellectual, and theatrical environment within which Molière operated, as well as demonstrating his subsequent impact both within France and across the world. Offering fresh insight for those working in the fields of French Studies, Theatre and Performance Studies and French History, Molière in Context is an exceptional tribute to the premier French dramatist on the 400th anniversary of his birth.

Jan Clarke is Professor and Director of Studies in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University. Her research centres on seventeenth-century theatre, with a particular focus on stage and theatre design, stage lighting, company organisation, and the role of women both on and off stage. As well as penning numerous chapters and articles, she published the first, three-volume history of the company that succeeded that of Molière, The Guénégaud Theatre in Paris (1998, 2001, 2007).
