The School for Husbands
by Molière, Richard Wilbur, translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur Molière
About this book
The School for Husbands is a comedy in three acts and in verse.The intrigue of this comedy is the radical contrast between the ideas of two brothers about educating their children: one of them is very strict while the other is indulgent.This was the first play in the title of which the word "School" was employed, to imply that the author not only had the intention of amusing but also intended to convey a special lesson to his hearers.
