Tartuffe was first performed in 1664 and is one of the most famous theatrical comedies, the characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Val re are among the greatest classical theatre roles. Following the first performance, it was censored by King Louis XIV, probably due to the influence of the archbishop of Paris, who was the King's confessor. Due to Moli re's play, contemporary French and English both use the word \"tartuffe\" to describe a hypocrite who superficially feigns virtue. The play is written entirely in 1,962 twelve-syllable lines (alexandrines) of rhyming couplets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Moliere, Curtis Hidden Page\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781394121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781394120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford City Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.56d","brand":"Jean-Baptiste Poquelin Moliere","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945062531327,"sku":"9781781394120","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d571ca1a-4fcd-4741-8fb5-dd25576c881b.jpg?v=1681506566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tartuffe-parallel-frenchenglish-translation-jean-baptiste-poquelin-moliere-9781781394120","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
