Description

1706 FAMOUS Life of Moliere by Grimarest French Theater Literature Plays

“It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.”

― Molière

Moliere is often regarded as one of the best and most recognized French authors of the 17th-century. Many biographical sketches of the famed playwright were written over the next century; however, one particular biography stood out from among the rest – and not for the better. Jean Grimarest’s ‘Life of Moliere’ is unquestionably the most famous biography of Moliere.
