No one has ever handled comedy in its various aspects so brilliantly and so broadly as Moliere; and he has left us in the 'Femmes Sa- vantes ' the incomparable model of pure comedy at its highest and best, while he presented us also with the type of comedy sustained by phi- losophy in the 'Misanthrope,' of comedy gently relaxing into farce in the ' Bourgeois Gentil- homme,' and of comedy almost stiffening into drama in 'Tartuffe.' No one of Moliere's comedies is more charac- teristic than 'Tartuffe,' more liberal in its treat- ment of our common humanity, braver in its assault upon hypocrisy, or more masterly in its technic.
