Introduction by Richard Wilbur.One of Molière’s most popular and frequently performed plays, Tartuffe has been skilfully translated into English in brilliant rhymed couplets by Richard Wilburg, who won a share of the Bollingen Translation Prize for his much-acclaimed translation of this satiric turn on religious hypocrisy.The central character of the play is a rich bourgeois named Orgon, who in middle age has become a bigot and a prude.
