| Summary: | An adaptation by Caryll of Molière's "L'école des femmes," with scenes from other plays. More than a mere adaptation, this comedy includes subplots relevant to the period of the English Restoration. See Richard C. Taylor's essay, "The originality of John Caryll's 'Sir Salomon,' " in Comparative Drama, vol. 20, no. 3 (Fall 1986), pp. 261-269. . §. siflwix21Pw}ntkm._.nnénl , . . . . '34.11.
