"Tartuffe” playwright (7)
I believe the answer is:
moliere
'tartuffe playwright' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for moliere that I've seen before include "C17 French playwright (Le Misanthrope)" , "17th century French playwright" , "French writer" , "French dramatist" , "Fr. comic dramatist" .)
