Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English Drama This book makes no special effort to be either original or profound. It aims simply to set forth in brief compass the main facts that one might wish to have at hand in his first course in the English Drama. The great revival of interest in this subject within recent years has produced many noteworthy studies, especially in the literature of the age of Elizabeth; but, singularly enough, most of the books that have been written have been for those who already knew most about the subject. The present work pre supposes only that the student has had an elementary col lege course in the history of English Literature, and with just so much as a basis it endeavors to assist him as he passes on to the study of the greatest of the forms that this literature has so far assumed.

Words are but a poor return for deeds, and yet, as sincere expressions of sentiments, they may sometimes produce substantial gratification, at least to the utterer, and in this belief I dedicate my little book to you, one of my oldest and kindest friends. I do not fear but that the subject is worthy of your attention, for it relates to poetry and the elegant arts; and in these you have been gifted with a pure taste and a discriminating judgment, and to their professors have ever shown a delicate attention and frequently valuable assistance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English Stage: From Its Beginnings to the Summer of the Year 1908 In dealing with so large a subject in a comparatively small space, it is obviously impossible to be exhaustive. I have omitted mention of obscure and extinct theatres whose history has no special bearing on that of the stage, and similar considerations will explain why Grand Opera and the Variety Theatres have seemed to me to be outside the scope of the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Drama In the following pages, an endeavour is made to tell, in scale and with a due regard to proportion, the story of English drama from its beginnings in the miracle play and morality to the performance of Sheridan's Critic, in the year 1779. A con cluding chapter presents a sketch of the course of the drama since that time, in outline and by way of suggestion, and no more. To have completed the book on the same scale would have demanded another volume. But a better reason for the course here pursued is to be found in the circumstance that, by the time of Sheridan, almost the last vestige of the original dramatic impulse had been lost, the impulse that begot Mar lowe and Shakespeare and carried the great traditions of their art over the Restoration and into the next century; and when the modern revival came, inspired by a renewed appreciation of the great Elizabethans, it was manifestly not a revival on the stage, but in a new species of literature, the drama of the study, as different from the original parent stock as the novel is dif ferent from it or from the drama capable of successful presenta tion on the stage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Renascence of the English Drama: Essays, Lectures, and Fragments; Relating to the Modern English Stage, Written and Delivered in the Years 1883-94 I can well understand and sympathise with the feelings of impatience and resentment which these essays and lectures have aroused in many quarters during the last ten years, and I have always known that there was much worldly wisdom in the advice of the many friends who have so constantly urged me to hold my tongue upon the subject of the drama. It is a shrewd instinct in the public mind which prompts it to suspect that in matters of art the same great law prevails which it so constantly finds true in matters of morals - namely, that talking and doing are in inverse proportion to each other. And no one is more firmly convinced than I of the stupendous uselessness and impertinence of all preaching and criticism that does not fall in with the growing tendencies of thought around it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tudor Drama: A History of English National Drama, to the Retirement of Shakespeare It is probably not hard to defend the chronological limits and the title of this essay. There would seem to be a practical convenience in a treatment commencing with the earliest evidences of English national drama and closing with the highest accomplishment of that drama in the work of Shakespeare. Nor does it appear a gross exaggeration to include this entire evolution within the confines of The Tudor Drama for though most of the specimens discussed in the first two chap ters had their original inception in the century before the Tudor era began, there can be no doubt that they still remained at the opening of our period the most characteristic expressions of English dramatic genius.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Drama of the Restoration and Eighteenth Century (1642-1780) Despite the activity of research in the general field of English drama, and the marked growth of critical interest in its contemporary aspects, little heed has yet been given to certain earlier periods of modern English drama which help to explain its later de velopment. For the most part, students of English dramatic history have preferred even the by-paths and meanders of Elizabethan drama to the main travelled roads that lead onward from the eighteenth century. In one of the bibliographical notes in his admirable volume entitled T raged}, Professor A. H. Thorndike puts the case tersely Ward's History of Dramatic Literature ends with the death of Queen Anne; and there is no adequate history of the English drama for the last two centuries, and no good bibliography.' So vigorously, indeed, have almost all the fields of English literature been cul tivated, that it is doubtful whether there now remains any other equally neglected area comparable in breadth with that clearly suggested by Professor Thorndike. His own concluding chapters, though confined to tragedy, form, in fact, one of the few significant contributions toward the broader critical investigation which must review the whole course of modern English dramatic development.
