Reviews

This comparative study of Spanish and French comedy is a clear and persuasive account of what two great traditions shared and how they diverged. Although some scholars have denied that Moliere had any contact with Spanish drama, Thomas P. Finn makes a strong case for such familiarity. He shows both which aspects of the comedia would most have appealed to Moliere and how he transformed what he found there. This highly readable and thought-provoking book contains detailed analyses of some of Moliere's greatest comedies. (Perry Gethner, Professor of French, Oklahoma State University, Tulsa, Oklahoma)
