Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Comic Dramatists If, on the other hand, the image cast upon the stage be wholly distorted and falsified, and the action and personages of the drama be made laughter - provoking by exaggeration or caricature, the result is no longer comedy but Farce, whether it be the farce of Aristo phanes, of Foote, or of Labiche. Again, if the mockery be ungenial, the laughter savage, or mainly cynical and contemptuous, no dramatic quality it may possess will fit it for stage purposes - will humanize it, as it were; it is neither Comedy nor Farce, but Satire, and the work may please a reader, but will not satisfy an audience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Comic Drama, 1700-1750 Acurious ceremony ushered in the eighteenth century in England. By the old calendar the new century began on the zyth of March 1700, and on the evening of the 25th an inaugural pageant, in the form of a kind of allegorical ballet, was produced at Drury Lane, printed copies being 'deliver'd Gratis at the Theatre The moving spirits in the affair seem to have been Dryden and Vanbrugh, and probably Colley Cibber. The text was published again in June with the title, A Secular Masque and the information that it had been 'written by the late Great Poet Mr. Dryden, just before his Death, being the last of his Works'. The masque, in itself and because of the circumstances of its origin, is one of the most remarkable 'documents' in the history of criticism. Its interest is its self-consciousness. It might plausibly be described as a port 7720776772 by the age upon itself. It is a deliberate and considered epitome of the civilization of the preceding hundred years; and it exhibits for the last time that quality, or combination of qualities, which had distinguished their literature. From one point of view, indeed, the poem may be taken as a piéce dejurtzfcation. The declamation by Diana beginning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plays, Vol. 1: By Greek, Spanish, French, German and English Dramatists; With a Special Introduction If we consider Moliere's object in all me numerous plays that emanated from his fertile genius we perceive a constant warfare against vice and folly. And no dramatic author, ancient or modern, launched the shafts of satire against such a variety of vanities and foibles. The Misanthrope is considered by most critics to be Moliere's masterpiece. It has even been character ized as the ideal of classic comedy, comprising, as it does, such immortal types as Alceste, the impatient but far from cynical hero; Célimene, the coquette; Oronte, the fop; Eliante. The rea sonable woman; and Arsinoe, the mischief maker. Moliere is, in the estimation of many critics, the most consummate comic dramatist of modern times. It is in the combination of char acter with intrigue that his genius and creative powers are seen to the greatest advantage. His plays scintillate with wit and abound in humor and frolicsome fun. They are also remarkable for their accurate character-drawing and their astonishing repro duction of humanity at large. Racine began to write when the classical fetters were riveted upon the French stage, and he never made the effort of strug gling with his chains. He was as much of a poet as the prev alcnt taste for artificial forms would permit. He excelled in re finement and harmony of versification, and in delineating the passion of love with truth, suavity, and charm. In Phedra he does not attempt the highest poetry, but the jealous frenzy of the heroine is acknowledged to be a great achievement in pure passion. The play, as a whole, is considered one of the most finished productions of the French drama. It is especially noted for excellence of construction, and artful beauty of verse.

There was dignity in his movements, gravity in his whole air, but his mobile features lightened readily into comic expression, and his thoughtful look was softened by habitual kindliness and generosity. He lived in companionship with men of genius, and was a ready friend to poorer comrades in their hours of need.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miser: A Comedy For our own parts we do not see that comic authors should play the divines, or that a comedy should be a les son of morality; if, however the law is a good one - andit has been so decided, -the Miser must he certainly con damned, with many of his more worthy brethren; the ava rice of Lovegold is no excuse for the havery of. His son and daughter, ' and the treachery of Mariana; that he is a villain, does not make them more honest, and after all it is only the triumph of many young rogues over one old one, who succeed by lying, cheating, and even down-right robbery. 0 There is also another great defect in this piece; the speech of each individual bears no distinctive mark; there is a peculiar impress which peculiarity of habit lands to language, by which every sort, or at least, class of charac ter, has its own dialect, as certain and as distinct as the dialects of Ireland and Scotland, or the patois of Venice and we invariably find our old poets - Shakspeare more particularly-attentive to this maxim. The dialects of N ym, Bardolph, and Falstafi', are as diﬂ'erent from each other as from the dialect of Greece or Rome! Nay, even Shallow, though so nearly allied in nature and habits, is yet, in this respect, suficiently distinguished. It must, however, he allowed, that this excellence is extremely rare since the decay of the great English School, and the want of it therefore must be lightly visited in Fielding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magistrate a Farce in Three Acts The magistrate is, after Sweet Lavender, perhaps, the most popular of Mr. Pinero's plays, and it is particularly interesting as being the first of his works in which his own individuality found ah solutely independent expression, and emphatically and triumphantly asserted itself. In fact this farce marks an epoch in the dramatist's career, and shows him creating a really new and original order of English comic play, the further development of which may be traced in the successive plays which, together with The Magistrate, formed the famous Court series of farces namely, The Schoolmis tress, Dandy Dick, and The Cabinet Min ister.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mantle and Other Stories As a novel-writer and a dramatist, Gogol appears to me to deserve a minute study, and if the knowledge of Russian were more widely Spread, he could not fail to obtain in Europe a reputation equal to that of the best English humorists. A delicate and close observer, quick to detect the absurd, bold in exposing, but inclined to push his fun too far, Gogol is in the first place a very lively satirist. He is merciless towards fools and rascals, but he has only one weapon at his disposal - irony. This is a weapon which is too severe to use against the merely absurd, and on the other hand it is not sharp enough for the punishment of crime; and it is against crime that Gogol too often uses it. His comic vein is always too near the farcical, and his mirth is hardly contagious. If sometimes he makes his reader laugh, he still leaves in his mind a feeling of bitterness and indignation; his satires do not avenge society, they only make it angry.
