His acclaimed verse renderings of MolieÌre's plays -- the critic John Simon wrote that 'Wilbur makes MolieÌre into as great an English verse playwright as he was a French one' -- are still enchanting audiences around the world. Library of America's deluxe two-volume edition brings together for the first time all ten of Wilbur's MolieÌre translations, a project Wilbur always envisioned. It features Wilbur's original introductions to the plays, a new foreword by Adam Gopnik on the miraculous convergence of Wilbur's 20th-century American and MolieÌre's 17th-century French sensibilities, and a fascinating interview with Wilbur about translating MolieÌre conducted in 2009 by Dana Gioia. This second volume gathers MolieÌre's The Misanthrope, the elusive masterpiece that is to comedy what Shakespeare's Hamlet is to tragedy; the fantastic farce Amphitryon, in which Jupiter and Mercury commandeer the identities of two mortals; Tartuffe, MolieÌre's brilliant satire of religious hypocrisy and willful blindness; and The Learned Ladies, the drama of a bourgeois household turned upside down that was one of his most popular comedies and the last of his great plays in verse."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Foreword / by Adam Gopnik -- The misanthrope -- Amphitryon -- Tartuffe -- The learned ladies -- An interview with the translator / by Dana Gioia. 600 10 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. 600 10 $a Wilbur, Richard, $d 1921-2017 $v Interviews. 600 17 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00034253 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Courtship $v Drama. 650 0 $a French drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Courtship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881873 650 7 $a French drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934265 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a France $x Social life and customs $y 17th century $v Drama. 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 655 7 $a Drama. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a TheÌaÌtre. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000474 700 1 $a Wilbur, Richard, $d 1921-2017, $e interviewee. $e interviewee. 700 1 $a Gopnik, Adam, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Gioia, Dana, $e interviewer. 700 12 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. $t Misanthrope. $l English. 700 12 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. $t Amphitryon. $l English. 700 12 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. $t Tartuffe. $l English. 700 12 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. $t Femmes savantes. $l English. 830 0 $a Library of America special publication. 800 1 $a MolieÌre, $d 1622-1673. $t Plays. $k Selections. $l English $s (Wilbur) ; $v v. 2. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021715.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDF411CC1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
