Richard Wilbur's verse translation of Moli�re has been acclaimed as a masterpiece of its kind. In brilliant rhymed couplets Mr. Wilbur has rendered into English the form and spirit of Moli�re's language as well as its substance, and to his accomplishments as a poet is added a sure sense of the theater. It is small wonder that this version of TARTUFFE has been performed so frequently in recent years and with such success.

From the Inside Flap:
