CRITICISM

Parish, Richard. “Molière en Travesti: Transvestite Acting in Molière.” Nottingham French Studies 33, No. 1 (1994): 53-8.

Examines transvestism in Molière's plays as a form of disguise rather than as a means of generating sexual ambiguity.

Philips, Henry. “Authority and Order in Molière Comedy.” Nottingham French Studies 33, No. 1 (1994): 12-19.

Suggests that examples of authority in Molière's plays create a model for kingship, asserting the supremacy of the king but also giving direction to the king.

Shaw, David. “Molière and the Doctors.” Nottingham French Studies 33, No. 1 (1994): 133-42.

Proposes that Molière's representations of doctors were not intended as satire and do not reflect seventeenth-century opinions on the practice of medicine.
