Marmontel and Demoustier, 'le Misanthrope Corrigé'

About this book

"This series of sequels ... began in the second half of the eighteenth century, ninety-nine years after Molière's play first appeared, with Jean-François Marmontel's prose narrative Le misanthrope corrigé. This edition brings together Marmontel's tale with a later dramatic adaptation by the playwright Charles-Albert Demoustier, Alceste à la campagne, ou le Misanthrope corrigé (c.1790)"--Page 2.
