Pseudonym of the playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (7)

I believe the answer is:

moliere

(Other definitions for moliere that I've seen before include "French writer" , "17th century French playwright" , "Fr. dramatist (Tartuffe)" , "Fr. comic dramatist" , "C17 French playwright (Le Misanthrope)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
