Controversy in French Drama: Molière’s Tartuffe and the Struggle for Influence

Prest, J.

In 1664, Molière's Tartuffe was banned from public performance. This book provides a detailed, in-depth account of five-year struggle (1664-69) to have the ban lifted and, so doing, sheds important new light on 1660s France and the ancien régime more broadly.
