The Misanthrope Corrected (1882)

The Misanthrope Corrected is a literary work by James Jackson, first published in 1882. The book is a corrected version of the original play, The Misanthrope, written by French playwright Moli�����re in the 17th century. The play is a comedy of manners that satirizes the hypocritical and insincere behavior of the French aristocracy during the reign of Louis XIV. In Jackson's corrected version, he attempts to modernize the language and make the play more accessible to contemporary audiences. He also makes some changes to the plot and characters to better reflect the values and attitudes of the time. The story follows the character of Alceste, a misanthropic nobleman who despises the social conventions and insincerity of the court. He falls in love with the coquettish C�����lim�����ne, who embodies everything he hates about the society he lives in. The play explores themes of love, friendship, honesty, and social conformity. The Misanthrope Corrected is a classic work of literature that continues to be studied and performed today. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 17th-century France and the complex social dynamics of the time. Jackson's version provides a fresh interpretation of the play that is sure to captivate readers and theater-goers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
