Contents:
Introduction: The death of the author -- Moliere's writers -- The early plays and the pirates who loved them -- Comedic authorship and its discontents -- "Je veux qu'on me distingue" -- The school for publishers -- Collaboration's pyrrhic triumph -- Afterword: The death of the actor.
Summary: This book is the first full-length study to examine Moli�ere's evolving (and at times contradictory) authorial strategies, as evidenced both by his portrayal of authors and publication within the plays and by his own interactions with the seventeenth-century Parisian publishing industry. Historians of the book have described the time period that coincides with Moli�ere's theatrical activity as centrally important to the development of authors' rights and to the professionalization of the literary field. A seventeenth-century author, however, was not so much born as negotiated through often acrim.
