Download or read book Etherege and Wycherley written by Barbara Kachur and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etherege & Wycherley is the first book-length study devoted solely to these two leading comic dramatists of the early Restoration period. B.A. Kachur explores the major plays by George Etherege and William Wycherley within the context of the cultural, social and political changes that marked the reign of Charles II, and addresses issues such as marriage, manners, heroism, sovereignty and anxieties over class hierarchies which preoccupied late seventeenth-century England. The book provides studies of the following plays: - She Would If She Could - The Man of Mode - The Country Wife - The Plain Dealer In addition to examining the plays as cultural and historical texts, Kachur offers: - Biographical sketches detailing the dramaturgical styles of the two playwrights - An overview of Charles II's reign, including its effects on the dramatic literature of the era - A survey of Carolean theatre and drama outlining innovations in staging, and major dramatic genres - Performance histories which illuminate the ways in which twentieth-century directors have interpreted the comedies to make them accessible to modern audiences
Download or read book Two edg d Weapons written by Robert Markley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an important rereading of dramatic language in the comedies of Etherege, Wycherley, and Congreve. Demonstrating that comic wit of the late 1600s was a potent means by which to question orthodox political, social, and sexual values, this is the first work to draw significantly on postmodern theories to discuss the historical problems posed by late 17th-century dramatic style. Markley provides a dialogic account of style based on the work of Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin and gives revisionist reading of seventeenth-century stylistic theory.

Download or read book William Wycherley and the Comedy of Fear written by John A. Vance and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a study of the four plays of William Wycherley - long considered one of England's most important playwrights especially of the theatrically rich Restoration period, 1660-1700. The subject of many a study by the period's leading scholars, Wycherley has been perceived as a vigorous satirist, setting out "quite openly to teach his audience" about a multitude of personal and social sins." "This study takes issue with such impressions. It argues that Wycherley was not so much an attacking playwright but rather a thinking one - little concerned with larger social, political, and moral matters but one fascinated instead by the workings and motivations of fallible and insecure men and women - by that which is constant, pervasive and obsessive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
