	Pierre Marivaux
		The elder Carlet de Marivaux was a man of good reputation, and he received the appointment of director of the mint at Riom in Auvergne, where and at Limoges the young Pierre was brought up.
		He fell under the influence of Antoine Hondar[d] de La Motte, and thought to serve the cause of that ingenious paradoxer by travestying Homer, an ignoble task, which he followed up (perhaps, for it is not certain) by performing the same office in regard to Fénelon.
		The personal character of Marivaux was curious and somewhat contradictory, though not without analogies, one of the closest of which is to be found in Oliver Goldsmith.

	Carlet, Pierre de Chamblain de Marivaux Criticism and Essays
		Marivaux is recognized as an innovative dramatist who produced masterpieces of French comedy concerned with the discovery and denial of love.
		Marivaux's earliest known play, Le Père prudent et equitable (The Just and Prudent Father), is a one-act comedy believed to have been written sometime between 1709 and 1711 and then produced privately.
		Today, although a few of Marivaux's plays are dismissed for their lack of originality, most are judged to display liveliness, a variety of situations and characters, and a modern appeal which elevates them over the works of his contemporaries, including Voltaire.

	ARTicles: Love Play - the theatre of Marivaux
		The revolution that brought an end to the excesses of the aristocracy was itself born from a philosophical revolt, the Enlightenment, whose roots lay in the philosophical and mathematical discoveries of Descartes and Newton.
		Marivaux may mock the philosophers' world-view as naïve and simplistic, but the play is no less critical of the amorous princess, whose quest for love leads her into a maze of duplicity and cruelty.
		Marivaux structured the play around a bizarre rationalist experiment - a group of aristocrats try to simulate the conditions of the Garden of Eden to determine whether men or women are more unfaithful in love.

		The greatest prose of the period was produced in the fiction of the ebullient Rabelais and in the magnificent essays of Montaigne.
		The works of the ecclesiastic François de la Mothe Fénelon, the social philosopher Claude Henri, comte de Saint-Simon, and the satirist and classical scholar Jean de La Bruyère belong to this illustrious period as well as to the 18th cent.
		The French novel—Diderot and Marivaux contributed to its literary form—gained popularity with the works of Alain René Le Sage, Abbé Prevost, and Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, and by the end of the century was among the foremost of literary genres.

		Although the play was comic in tone and the action set on an island off the coast of Athens, far from France, the aristocracy must have cringed at a plot calling for a power reversal between the ruling class and its servants.
		Marivaux imagined an island democracy established by runaway slaves, in which everyone was equal.

	Musical Marivaux falls a bit short of 'Triumph' \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Somewhere between bright concept and bland execution, Marivaux's 1734 "The Triumph of Love" lost not only the first word of its title, but much of its charm when collaborators turned its princess-in-disguise story into a musical.
		Marivaux's fine champagne often tastes like fizzless 7-Up.
		Director Glaudini has her prance like a Barbie-bimbo through some of her tricking scenes, and that choice conflicts with Leonide's character – which is strong, independent, quick-witted and never cheap.

		Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux was born fifteen years after Molière's death and while much acclaimed and produced in his own country and, in fact, taught in French schools, his work seemed to hold little appeal for Americans.
		Since James Magruder is one of the translators credited with polishing Marivaux's reputation, and also the writer of the book for Triumph of Love, we decided to have a sneak peek at the show by an interview conducted by fax.
		JM: Marivaux has come into his own in the nineties not just because of translators, but because he writes small cast comedies that can be done on unit sets.

		In Marivaux's light social satire, two arrogant aristocrats and their servants are stranded on an island run by freed slaves.
		Marivaux suggests that the play's experiment in social engineering could go horribly wrong.

	Aisle Say (Boston): Island of Slaves
		While their joint production with the SITI company of his "La Dispute" had some amusement value, in part from its evocative setting, this distorted version of "L'Ile des Esclaves" is set in grungy theatrical locale, this time by David Zinn, using ideas left over from "Orpheus X," which ran last month.
		This M.C. with a suggestive name is the one of the five original speaking characters in Marivaux's 11 scene dissertation on overbearing masters and long-suffering servants, and their mutual dependence.
		But ramping up the stakes of "L'Ile des Esclaves" rather timid morality to the level of this outlandish effort, as in the ART's previous excursion with "La Dispute," results in another exercise of blatant theatricality, this time tinged with the theatre of cruelty accomplishing little more than titillation.

		century French playwright, Pierre de Marivaux, has been brought to the screen by Clare Peploe, wife of Bernardo Bertolucci, who has writing and producing credits on it.
		Despite the presence of the radiant Mira Sorvino and the excellent Ben Kingsley and Fiona Shaw, I fear it is not quite successful.
		The alternative would be to make those classic types from French comedy, the pedant and the mannish spinster, as ridiculous as they would have been to contemporaries, and there is never any question of doing that.

		Marivaux's point is that when it comes to passion, rationalists can be as silly as anyone else.

		The article gives information on the book "Marivaux: His Life and His Works," by Gustave Larroumet.
		The book focuses on works of French playwright Pierre de Marivaux.
		The book says that Marivaux's plays still charm everyone because they place one between heaven and earth, in a world of delicate sentiment, of half-expressed emotions, where love is ideal and seems afraid of itself, where all human passion seems to be transformed-more volatile, more mysterious and transcendental.
