Théâtre classique at ARTFL
This collection is comprised of 576 French plays and other theatrical texts, containing more than 7.4 million words and nearly 80,000 individual word forms, from the period between 1617 and 1792. Molière, Corneille, Marivaux, and Voltaire are all represented here, as are lesser-known playwrights such as Gilles de Caux de Montlebert, Joseph-François Duché de Vancy, and Antoine Le Métel d’Ouville.
The texts come to us essentially unmodified from the excellent French Théâtre classique project, directed by Paul Fièvre. The high quality of these digital editions allows for full-text searching in PhiloLogic that can be filtered by dates, section headings, and even individual speakers. One may, for example, search Molière's Le Misanthrope for every instance of Alceste's use of the word homme.
