Book excerpt: Author names not noted above: Oliver Goldsmith, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Robert Browning, and Lord Byron. Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume XVIII features six of the greatest plays of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century England writers: [ All for Love, the Shakespearean tragedy by JOHN DRYDEN (1631-1700) [ The School for Scandal, the comedy of manners by RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN (1751-1816) [ She Stoops to Conquer, the satire by OLIVER GOLDSMITH (1730-1774) [ The Cenci, the controversial verse drama by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY (1792-1822) [ A Blot in the 'Scutcheon, the tragedy by ROBERT BROWNING (1812-1889) [ Manfred, the supernatural drama by LORD BYRON (1788-1824)

Download or read book English Drama written by Richard W. Bevis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What were the causes of Restoration drama's licentiousness? How did the elegantly-turned comedy of Congreve become the pointed satire of Fielding? And how did Sheridan and Goldsmith reshape the materials they inherited? In the first account of the entire period for more than a decade, Richard Bevis argues that none of these questions can be answered without an understanding of Augustan and Georgian history. The years between 1660 and 1789 saw considerable political and social upheaval, which is reflected in the eclectic array of dramatic forms that is Georgian theatre's essential characteristic.

Download or read book Representative English Dramas From Dryden to Sheridan written by Frederick Tupper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative English Dramas From Dryden to Sheridan This book is designed for students rather than for scholars or specialists. It makes little or no contribution to the present knowledge of authors and their plays. It grapples with no difficult problems of origins and solves no riddles of dramatic evolution. It enters into no competition with histories of the English drama. Its mission is the humble one of presenting in a single volume representative plays of the century and more between the Restoration of the Stuarts and the American Revolution. The introductions to the dozen dramas and the notes and bibliographies at the end of the book contain only such information as the editors deem necessary for an understanding of the circumstances of this literary output, only such interpretative comment as they consider stimulating to the reader's own critical sense. With regard to the necessity and stimulus of this editorial matter, others may well be of a different mind. After all, the plays are the thing. Admittedly it is very convenient to have in one volume a dozen plays of an important epoch. But why the dozen here selected? The editors have been guided in their choice not by their own likes and dislikes, which happen to be strong, but by the consensus of critical and popular opinion. The Conquest of Granada is acknowledged by all as typical of the short-lived heroic drama. All for Love is deemed Dryden's best tragedy and furnishes in addition the most striking example of the Restoration treatment of a Shakespearean theme. Otway's Venice Preserved is reckoned easily first among the tragedies of the later Stuart time; indeed it finds no peer until Shelley's Cenci, For the editors sins of omission - Wycherley and Vanbrugh - is pleaded only the enforced omission of sins. The ubiquitous Rehearsal of Buckingham has yielded - here the editors accept full responsibility - to the less accessible, equally representative, and more amusing burlesque, Fielding's Tom Thumb. No English comedy of manners vies, in the judgment of many others than Meredith, with The Way of the World by Congreve. No lighter drama of the Restoration tradition has had longer life on the stage and off than that "red leaf, the last of its clan," Farquhar's often-dancing Beaux' Stratagem. Dull beyond all conception Addison's Cato may seem to us now, yet it scored the most signal triumph of eighteenth-century classical tragedy. Sentimental comedy must be represented, and - almost as a matter of course - by The Conscious Lovers of Steele. The Beggar's Opera by Gay is the foremost of its musical genre in both time and merit. Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer and Sheridan's chief comedies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Talking Drama written by Judith Roof and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Talking Drama ask what the relation is between drama and its critics. In so far as we conceive of drama and theatre as arising from and providing some sense of social ritual and comment, drama is itself a critical genre, showing up the foibles and problems of human existence as well as the general hubris and errors of society. Plays both constitute criticism--of society, of ideas, of other plays--and deploy such self-critical gambits as plays within plays, characters who watch other characters, characters feigning roles and personalities, and even the overt inclusion of characters who are critics. Plays, thus, comment both on themselves and on the art of theatre generally. At the same time, drama implies other kinds of critics in the guise of the audience, reviewers, and those who might participate in its ideas. Just as plays produce the seeds of their own critique, so they also spur critique of their aesthetics, the artistry of their performance, and the ideas and conflicts they illustrate. Critics who review play performances are as much an intrinsic part of theatrical events as the audience and the plays themselves.
Book Synopsis The Critic by : Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Download or read book The Critic written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Critic was Sheridan's response to a very specific political and theatrical situation. In the summer of 1779, a Franco-Spanish invasion seemed imminent and patriotic fervour superseded party divisions and personal animosities. The Critic satirises the panic of the summer in the form of the comically misconceived tragedy 'The Spanish Armada' that is in rehearsal in the second and third acts, but The Critic ends with genuine patriotic feeling. This edition traces both the political and the theatrical objects of Sheridan's satire and discusses its reliance (and improvement) on earlier meta-theatrical burlesques like The Duke of Buckingham's Restoration romp The Rehearsal.
