Jean-Baptiste Poquelin : [plays]

'During the first half year I was at this school Mr Gibson got Moliere's plays for me in 10 vols., French and English, which I afterwards used to construe with Mr Suine. As the English translation (tho' by no means a good one) afforded as much amusement in reading out of school time, we at length took it in our heads to act one of them amongst ourselves of which we selected "The forced marriage".'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: John Marsh      Print: Book
