The Miser (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546908746)

This play was acted for the first time on September 9, 1668. In it, Moli re has borrowed from Plautus, and has imitated several other authors, but he far surpasses them in the treatment of his subject. The picture of the miser, in whom love of money takes the place of all natural affections, who not only withdraws from family intercourse, but considers his children as natural enemies, is finely drawn, and renders Moli re's Miser altogether more dramatic and moral than those of his predecessors. Moli re acted the part of Harpagon.
