«George Dandin» is Molière's three-act comedy-ballet, published by Larousse Editions in paperback (207 pages, in French).
A wealthy peasant marries the daughter of a ruined nobleman hoping to gain prestige, but his wife and in-laws despise him for his origins, and every attempt to assert his authority ends in humiliation. Molière satirizes marriages of convenience and social rank in the seventeenth century, with music and dance typical of the comédie-ballet.
Original title: George Dandin ou le Mari confondu. Edition from the Petits Classiques Larousse collection, with complete text. Play premiered in 1668.
School edition, intended for secondary students studying French classical theatre and the seventeenth century.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the great writers in the French language and world literature. His extant works include comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today. His influence is such that the French language is often referred to as the "language of Molière".
