The Learned Ladies is a romantic comedy originally written during the French Baroque period by Moliere. This translation is by Richard Wilbur, Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry. Henriette and Clitandre are in love and want to get married. However, her mother objects and wants Henriette to marry the poet, Trissotin, who leads the women in the family in academic pursuits. Henriette’s father tries to plead for his daughter to marry the person she loves, but his strong-willed wife resists. Which will prevail – the heart or the mind?
