Description

This volume contains the French text of Jean-François Regnard's 1696 comic play Le Joueur, edited by Arthur Tilley and first published in 1918. Tilley's edition draws principally from the text of G. d'Heylli's 1876 edition of the Théâtre du Regnard and adopts modernised spelling, punctuation, and arrangement of scenes. The text of the play is supported by an introduction, examining the life of Regnard and the reception of Le Joueur, and notes on some of the more difficult words and phrases that appear in the work for which Tilley consulted several contemporary seventeenth-century dictionaries.
