Translated Into English Prose. With Short Introductions And Explanatory Notes By Charles Heron Wall
Acted on May 24, 1671, at the Palais Royal, 'Les Fourberies de Scapin' had great success. It is nothing, however, but a farce, taken partly from classical, partly from Italian or from French sources.
MoliÈre acted the part of Scapin.
