Lysandre, a jeune premier (a leading man) in Molière’s theatre. His name recurs as do other names, such as Clitandre, Valère.

Molière used the stock characters of the commedia dell’arte, but when he was touring the provinces, he sometimes posted a sketch, le canevas, and characters wrote their role. In other words, Molière did not write comedies before he returned to Paris. But he had to publish his Précieuses ridicules so no one else could claim the comedy, a farce, was his or hers.

This is a very short post. My computer cannot access WordPress easily. My new computer should arrive soon. I’m upgrading.

I may publish early posts, the ones that were not read.

If the computer will let me, I will read your posts.
