«L'École des femmes» is Molière's comedy published by Gallimard in paperback (207 pages, in French).
Arnolphe, a mature man, has educated his ward Agnès in ignorance to ensure a submissive wife. Her awakening feelings and her encounter with a young man challenge the tutor's plan and, with humour and wit, raise questions about women's education and their freedom.
Published in 2013, the edition is edited by Jean Serroy and belongs to the Folio classique collection.
Intended for the school environment, it is useful for secondary school students and for those approaching classical French theatre.
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".
