Two Pastorals: an Heroic and a Comic

Two Pastorals: an Heroic and a Comic

Molière

Two Pastorals: an Heroic and a Comic is a work by Molière, written in the 1660s. The first part, Melicerte, is an unfinished heroic pastoral inspired by Shakespeare's Winter's Tale, showcasing Molière's delicate sentiment and pastoral charm. The second part is a comic pastoral performed in January 1667, which likely replaced the incomplete Melicerte. Although only fragments of the scripts remain, the work highlights Molière's contributions to the genre of pastoral comedy.
