About the book

One of the most accomplished American poets of his generation, Richard Wilbur (1921-2017) was also a prolific translator of French and Russian literature. His verse translations of Moliere's plays are especially admired by readers and are still performed today in theatres around the world. 'Wilbur,' the critic John Simon once wrote, 'makes Moliere into as great an English verse playwright as he was a French one.' Now, for the first time, all ten of Wilbur's unsurpassed translations of Moliere's plays are brought together in two-volume Library of America edition, fulfilling the poet's vision for the translations.
