MOLIERE BY MOONEY brings you two sparkling adaptations from the master of the master! The School for Wives: Arnolphe has groomed his young ward Agnes to be the perfect, faithful, subservient wife. Now that she has turned 18, he will ask for her hand in marriage-which she will give gladly, of course-and he will no longer live in fear of the mockery and embarrassment that comes with a wife's "independence." All seems to go according to plan, until a handsome young man serendipitously crosses Agnes' path. With his manhood and his reputation at stake, can Arnolphe change his curriculum and lure her back, or will Agnes' love for the "wrong" man, despite all her schooling, prevail? 2F, 7M (Flexible) The Learned Ladies: Henriette's liberated, feminist mother wants her to marry the man she has picked out for her: a posturing, unctuous fop masquerading as a poet! Her father agrees she should marry her true love. The problem? Dad caves in to Mom's wishes at every turn! Will Dad assert his right as the head of the house? Must Henriette flee to a convent to avoid her suitor's insipid poetry? It's the war of the sexes, 17th-century style! 5F, 8M (Flexible)

Moliere's cast has all come down with food poisoning! Worse… They've been to see doctors and, as such, are now confined to bed! This leaves Moliere to entertain the audience all by himself (praying that no one asks for a refund…)! And so, he proceeds to lead them through his favorite monologues and scenes: "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," "Don Juan," "The Bourgeois Gentleman," "The School for Wives," "The Precious Young Maidens," "The Doctor in Spite of Himself," "The Imaginary Cuckold," "The Schemings of Scapin," and "The Imaginary Invalid." He plays scenes to unexpecting audience members, pulls volunteers from the audience, and climbs over the audience' laps, while working his way through the funniest theatrical catalogue in history! Timothy Mooney, living a "parallel existence with France's greatest playwright, has not only rewritten most of Moliere's plays into fresh rhymed iambic pentameter, but, playing Moliere, in "Moliere Than Thou," has introduced over a hundred thousand people to the man who is, perhaps, the funniest playwright of all time!

This book critically analyzes the body of English language translations Moliere’s work for the stage, demonstrating the importance of rhyme and verse forms, the creative work of the translator, and the changing relationship with source texts in these translations and their reception. The volume questions prevailing notions about Moliere’s legacy on the stage and the prevalence of comedy in his works, pointing to the high volume of English language translations for the stage of his work that have emerged since the 1950s. Adopting a computer-aided method of analysis, Ploix illustrates the role prosody plays in verse translation for the stage more broadly, highlighting the implementation of self-consciously comic rhyme and conspicuous verse forms in translations of Moliere’s work by way of example. The book also addresses the question of the interplay between translation and source text in these works and the influence of the stage in overcoming formal infelicities in verse systems that may arise from the process of translation. In so doing, Ploix considers translations as texts in and of themselves in these works and the translator as a more visible, creative agent in shaping the voice of these texts independent of the source material, paving the way for similar methods of analysis to be applied to other canonical playwrights’ work. The book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in translation studies, adaptation studies, and theatre studies

In this volume fifteen eminent scholars illuminate the broad and often underappreciated variety of the nineteenth‐century Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard’s engagements with literature and the arts. The essays in Kierkegaard, Literature, and the Arts, contextualized with an insightful introduction by Eric Ziolkowski, explore Kierkegaard’s relationship to literature (poetry, prose, and storytelling), the performing arts (theater, music, opera, and dance), and the visual arts, including film. The collection is rounded out with a comparative section that considers Kierkegaard in juxtaposition with a romantic poet (William Blake), a modern composer (Arnold Schoenberg), and a contemporary singer‐songwriter (Bob Dylan). Kierkegaard was as much an aesthetic thinker as a philosopher, and his philosophical writings are complemented by his literary and music criticism. Kierkegaard, Literature, and the Arts will offer much of interest to scholars concerned with Kierkegaard as well as teachers, performers, and readers in the various aesthetic fields discussed.

This book explores the social institutions, the prevailing social values, and the ideology of the ancient city-state as revealed in Roman Comedy. "The very essence of comedy is social," writes David Konstan, "and in the complex movement of its plots we may be able to discern the lineaments and contradictions of the reigning ideas of an age." David Konstan looks closely at eight plays: Plautus's Aulularia, Asinaria, Captivi, Rudens, Cistellaria, and Truculentus, and Terence's Phormio and Hecyra. Offering new interpretations of each, he develops a "typology of plot forms" by analyzing structural features and patterns of conventional behavior in the plays, and he relates the results of his literary analysis to contemporary social conditions. He argues that the plays address tensions that were potentially disruptive to the ancient city-state, and that they tended to resolve these tensions in ways that affirmed traditional values. Roman Comedy is an innovative and challenging book that will be welcomed by students of classical literature, ancient social history, the history of the theater, and comedy as a genre.
