Excerpt from The Influence of Moliere on Restoration Comedy This essay in comparative literature attempts to determine the nature and extent of the influ ence exerted by Moliere on English comedy from 1660 to 1700. Its purpose is not so much to identify particular cases Of indebtedness to the French master as to study the general features of his influence on the art and outlook of the period. I shall be gratified if it con tributes in any way to a better understanding of Restoration comedy, or to a more extended appreciation of the greatest comic genius of France.

Excerpt from Moliere and the Restoration Comedy in England Thomas D'Urfcy (1630-1723), a minor writer of comedy belonging to the period of dramatic literature with which it is proposed to deal, has inserted a song in "Sir Barnaby Whig" (1681) which contains this line: "Moliere is quite rifled, then how should I write?" It is intended to show, in the following pages, to what extent the English comic dramatists who wrote during the period ranging between 1660 and the year of the death of Queen Anne, had recourse for ideas to Moliere, his contemporaries, and immediate followers, and what was the nature of the influence so imparted. The following is an outline of the dissertation: Introduction. - I. General survey of Moliere's influence upon the literatures of Europe. 2. The deep impression made by Moliere upon the minds of the English, as manifested in the Preface to "Select Comedies of Moliere" (1732). 3. The Abbe Prevost's description of the popularity of Moliere in England. 4. Dramatic criticisms of Frenchmen who were in England during the years following the Restoration. 5. Prevailing love for the theatres. 6. General influence, other than that of the drama, of France upon England at the time of the Restoration. Chapter I. - Influence of the French comic drama upon the first generation of dramatists who shared with Dryden in the foundation of a classic or regular drama in England. This includes the following names: Davenant, Dryden, Etherege, Shadwell, Sedley. Chapter II. - Influence of Molieresque comedy upon those comic dramatists who appeared early in the seventies. The leading name of this class is Wycherley, with the subsidiary figures of Otway, Mrs. Behn, and Crown. Chapter III. - Influence of Molieresque comedy upon the group of playwrights ho made their appearance at the very close of the century, and who were divided by more than thirty years from the Restoration. The principal comic writers in this section are Congreve, Colley Cibber, Vanbrugh, and Farquhar. Chapter IV. - Vast superiority of Moliere over the English writers from the point of view of dramatic construction.

After the restoration of King Charles II to the British throne in 1660, dramatists experienced new freedom in an age that broke from the strict morality of puritan rule and in which elegance and wit became the chief virtues. Irreverent, licentious and cynical, the three plays collected here hold up a mirror to this dazzling era and satirize the gulf between appearances and reality. In Etherege's The Man of Mode (1676), the womanizing Dorimant meets his match when he falls in love with the unpretentious Harriet, while Wycherley's The Country Wife (c. 1675) depicts the rakish Horner who fakes impotence to fool trusting husbands into giving him easy access to their wives. And in Congreve's Love for Love (1695), the extravagant Valentine can only win his beloved Angelica if he loses his inheritance.
