What years did Moliere live?
Molière
15 January 1622–17 February 1673
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière (/mɒlˈjɛər,moʊl-/;[1] French:[mɔ.ljɛːʁ]; 15 January 1622–17 February 1673), was a French playwright, actor and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and universal literature. His extant works includes comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today.[2] His influence is such that the French language itself is often referred to as the "language of Molière"[3][4].
