Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient British Drama, Vol. 1 of 3 Tun present Publication is intended to form, with 7714! British Drama, and Shakapcare, a complete and uniform Collection, in Ten Volumes, of the best English Plays. The distinction of Ancient and Modem will be found to consist chiefly in reference to their having lost or retained possession of the Stage. Hamlet and Macbeth, for example, cannot, in this sense, be termed ancient Plays, although prior in date to many, or indeed to most of those which will be found in the following Volumes. It is unnecessary to inform the lovers of the Drama, that although the later and more fashionable department of the Collection will be found most useful to the frequenters of the Theatre, yet that which we are now prefacing will be the most acceptable to the admirers of poetry. From the latter end of the sixteenth century to the breaking out of the civil war, the best Poets of England were engaged in dramatic composition; and Dnn'ron and spencer are the only authors of eminent reputation, who have not written for the Stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Drama, Vol. 1: Comprehending the Best Plays in the English Language; Tragedies Having thus vindicated the superior excellencies of the modern drama against the boasted claims of Greece, it would be agreeable to the tenor of the editor's plan, and the objects he has in View, to shew, that Britain pos sesses as decided a pre-eminence, in this branch of literature, over contempo rary nations, as she does over remote antiquity. An examination into the state of the various theatres of Europe would incontestably prove the truth of this remark. But, as our right to the dramatic palm has never been disputed, such an inquiry seems unnecessary. It remains, therefore, to explain the mo tives, which led the editor to the present undertaking.

Download or read book Dramatic Works Vol 1 of 3 Classic Reprint written by Henry Fielding and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dramatic Works, Vol. 1 of 3 I believe few plays have ever adventured into the world under greater disadvantages than this. First, as it succeeded a comedy which, for the continued Space of twenty-eight nights, received as great (and as just) applauses, as ever were bestowed on the English Theatre. And secondly, as it is co-temporary with an entertain ment which engrosses the whole talk and admiration of the town. These were difficulties which seemed rather to require the superior force of a Wycherley, or a Congreve, than of a raw and unexperienced pen; for I believe I may boast that none ever appeared so early upon the stage. How ever, such was the candour of the audience, the play was received with greater satisfaction than I should have promised myself from its merit, had it even preceded the Provoked Husband. But after having returned thanks to the spectators, I cannot rest till I have been in some measure grateful to the performers. As for Mr. Wilks and Mr. Cibber, I cannot sufficiently acknowledge their civil and kind be haviour previous to its representation. How advantageously both they and the other personages set off their respective parts, at that time, has been spoken of by much politer and better judges than myself. Lastly, I can never express my grateful sense of the good nature of Mrs. Oldfield; who, though she had contracted a slight indisposition by her violent fatigue in the part of Lady Townly, was prevailed on to grace that of Lady Matchless; which placed her in a light so far inferior to that which she had in the other. Nor do I owe less to her excellent judgment, shown in some corrections, which I shall, for my own sake, conceal. But the ravishing perfections of this lady are so much the admiration of every eye and every ear, that they will remained fixed in the memory of many, when these light scenes shall be forgotten.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Moliere, Vol. 1 of 3: Translated Into English Prose, With Short Introductions and Explanatory Notes He returned to Paris in 1658, being then thirty-six years of age. He and his company - somewhat different from what it was in 1646 - played for the first time before the King, Louis XIV., on the 24th of October. They first acted 'nicomede, ' a tragedy of Corneille. Moliere then begged the King's leave to play one of the small farces in. One act which they had been in the habit of playing in the provinces. They acted the 'docteur Amoureux, which greatly amused the audience. From that time the Illustre Theatre ceased to be so called; the company became Les Comediens de and played at the Petit Bourbon theatre in the Louvre.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Drama, a Collection of the Most Esteemed Dramatic Productions, With of the Respective Authors, Vol. 6 of 14: And a Critique on Each Play Amongst the numerous plays that the associated poets, Beaumont and Fletcher, have eft to posterity, none stands higher in the public favour than the comedy now under our review. The humorous vivacity of Michael Perez, and the strong effect produced by the sudden change of character in Leon, have kept this drama on the stage, and secur'd to those characters the support of the best act rs of the day, whensoever it was represented; Estifunia also, from her incidental rather than her actual importance, became a favourite part with the first female performers of the theatre: and thus the comedy has been upheld, With all its imperfections on its head. If we look for nature in this composition, we contemplate it either in its most loathsome state of distortion, as in Cacafago; or of depravity, as in Margaritta and others. A more arrant knot of sharpers, swindlers, and impostors, never were assembled for the purpose of forming the cast of a comedy; whilst the grossness of the principal lady of the piece exceeds all bounds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Theatre, Vol. 1 of 25: Or a Collection of Plays, Which Are Acted at the Theatres Royal, Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and Haymarket This play is supposed, by some commentators, to have been among Shakspeare's earliest productions; whilst others will not allow that he had any farther share in the work, than to embellish it with additional words, lines, speeches, or scenes, to gratify its original author, or the manager of the theatre, who might, perhaps, place it in his hands for the purpose of improvement. In confirmation of this last notion, Steevens has declared "The Comedy of Errors" to be the composition of two very unequal writers; adding - "that the entire play was no work of Shakspeare's, is an opinion which (as Benedick says) fire cannot melt out of me; I will die in it at the stake." As it is thus partly decided that the wok is not wholly Shakspeare's, full liberty may be taken to find fault with it. Of all improbable stories, this is the most so.
