The Learned Ladies, by Molière

One of the most successful works by one of the most celebrated playwrights of the neoclassical period, Moliere’s The Learned Ladies takes aim at scholarly pretension and the education of women in 17th Century France. Familiar themes of love, marriage, and intrigue intersect with sharp-edged social critique and unerring political wit, demonstrating Moliere’s mastery of dramatic form and the keen, enduring relevance of his satire.
