Excerpt
INtroduction: The School for Husbands was the first play in the title of which the word ?School? was employed, to imply that, over and above the intention of amusing, the author designed to convey a special lesson to his hearers. Perhaps Moliere wished not only that the general public should be prepared to find instructions and warnings for married men, but also that they who were wont to regard the theatre as injurious, or at best trivial, should know that he professed to educate, as well as to entertain. We must count the adoption of similar titles by Sheridan and others amongst the tributes, by imitation, to Moliere?s genius.
