Controversy in French Drama: Molière's Tartuffe and the Struggle for Influence by Julia PrestISBN: 9781137343994
Publication Date: 2013-12-23
In 1664, Molière's Tartuffe was banned from public performance. This book provides a detailed, in-depth account of the five-year struggle to have the ban lifted and, so doing, sheds important new light on 1660s France and the ancien régime more broadly. By drawing on theatrical and non-theatrical writings, it changes the terms of the debate by challenging received notions regarding the opposition between the sincere believer and the hypocrite.

Politics and Theater: The Crisis of Legitimacy in Restoration France, 1815-1830 by Sheryl KroenISBN: 9780520924383
Publication Date: 2000-01-01
Moliére's anticlerical comedy Tartuffe is the unique prism through which Sheryl Kroen views postrevolutionary France in the years of the Restoration. Following the lead of the French men and women who turned to this play in the 1820s to make sense of their world, Kroen exposes the crisis of legitimacy defining the regime in these years and demonstrates how the people of the time made steps toward a democratic resolution to this crisis.
