| Description |
Newly translated by Tony Harrison, 1966. He has thrown the action forward three centuries, and it sits very well in the world of the aging and petulant de Gaulle, with the royal references now becoming quasi-royal, as befits le grand General in his dotage. Le Misanthrope is a sad and splenetic piece, justly described by Moliere as a 'tragi-comedy'. (Listener). |
