Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Three Hours after Marriage" by John Gay is a comedic play that satirizes the institution of marriage and the conventions of 18th-century English society. Co-written with Alexander Pope and John Arbuthnot, this farcical work follows the chaotic events that unfold when a newlywed couple faces challenges in their marriage just three hours after tying the knot. At the center of the play is the relationship between Sir John Brute, a cantankerous and unfaithful husband, and his young bride, Lady Brute, who finds herself disillusioned with her marriage almost immediately. As the couple grapples with issues of fidelity, jealousy, and social propriety, their domestic discord sets the stage for a series of absurd and humorous encounters. "Three Hours after Marriage" is characterized by its witty dialogue, exaggerated characters, and farcical situations. Through its portrayal of marital strife and societal hypocrisy, the play offers a biting commentary on the challenges and absurdities of married life in Georgian England. Despite its initial lack of success upon its debut in 1717, "Three Hours after Marriage" has since been recognized as a noteworthy work of English comedy, showcasing Gay's talent for satire and humor. Today, the play is appreciated for its insights into the foibles of human nature and its enduring relevance as a comedic exploration of the complexities of marriage and relationships.

Download or read book Three Hours After Marriage written by John Arbuthnot and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a forgotten gem of early 18th century theatre. Augustan wits John Gay, Alexander Pope and Doctor John Arbuthnot were at least as concerned with lampooning numerous figures in fashionable London society as with writing a well-crafted romp in their collaborative play, all but unseen since its original 1717 produc-tion. The plot is outrageous: several times Fossill discovers billets doux to his new bride Susannah, several times she executes last-minute stratagems to persuade him of her chastity, and several times her rival suitors Plotwell and Underplot arrive with the intention of cuckolding Fossill before he can consummate the marriage. Plotwell is also patron to Fossill's aspiring playwright niece Phoebe, whose latest work is exposed to general laughter as Gay, Pope and Arbuthnot indulge in the period's obligatory activity of sneering at poetasters.

Download or read book A Political Biography of John Gay written by Sandro Jung and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Gay (1685–1732) was a dramatist and poet, best-known today for writing The Beggar's Opera (1728). This satirical work was both innovative and hugely successful, though its cariacature of Sir Robert Walpole almost certainly led to the censorship of Gay's later work. This biography situates Gay's life and work in the context of his times. Through his membership of the Scriblerus Club, Gay developed lasting friendships with Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and John Arbuthnot, all of whom influenced his writing. The study will be invaluable to scholars of eighteenth-century literature and political history.
Download or read book This Long Disease My Life written by Marjorie Hope Nicolson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in his "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" Pope referred to “this long disease, my life,” his statement was quite literally true, since Pope, in addition to being a dwarf and a hunchback, suffered from many diseases during his lifetime. With technical advice from several physicians, the authors present the first medical case history of the poet. Drawing heavily upon the Correspondence for information about Pope's symptoms, they discuss the effect ill health had on his writings and the prevalence of medical themes in his works. The authors also explore Pope’s interests in astronomy (second only to his obsession with medicine), microscopy, geology, and physics and how they relate to his writings. Originally published in 1968.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in 1727, The Art of Sinking in Poetry was one of Alexander Pope's contributions to the literary output of the legendary Scriblerus club - a circle of writers dedicated to mocking what they perceived as a culture of mediocrity and false learning prevalent in the arts and sciences of their day. Taking the form of an ironic guide to writing bad verse, Pope's tongue-in-cheek essay is wickedly funny in its lampooning of various pompous poetasters, as well as being essential reading for any budding writer wishing to avoid sinking to the unintentionally ridiculous, and instead reach for the sublime.
