About this title

Synopsis

The Bourgeois From Moliere To Beaumarchais: The Study Of A Dramatic Type (1907) is a book written by Walter Thomson Peirce. The book is a comprehensive study of the bourgeois as a dramatic type in French literature, focusing on the works of Moliere and Beaumarchais. Peirce explores the portrayal of the bourgeois in their plays, analyzing the characters, themes, and social commentary. The book delves into the historical context of the emergence of the bourgeois class in France, and how this influenced the portrayal of the bourgeois in literature. Peirce also examines the evolution of the bourgeois character in French drama, from its origins in Moliere's plays to its more complex and nuanced portrayal in Beaumarchais' works. The book provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the bourgeois as a dramatic type, shedding light on the social and cultural context of French literature in the 17th and 18th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
