Download or read book The School for Scandal and Other Plays written by Richard Brinsley Sheridan and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-05-07 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly exploited comic situations, effervescent wit, and intricate plots combine to make Sheridan's work among the best of of all English comedy. The School for Scandal (1777) is his masterpiece, a brilliantly crafted comedy of contrasts in which brothers Joseph and Charles Surface contend for Maria, with hilariously differing intentions and results. Also a work of acute comic irony, The Rivals satirizes the romantic posturing of Lydia Languish while her disguised suitor Captain Absolute's resourceful contrivances advance an ever inventive and skilfully wrought plot. Included in this edition are the opera play The Duenna and the rarely printed musical play A Trip to Scarborough, adapted from Vanbrugh's The Relapse. Sheridan's last play, The Critic, is an exuberant parody of the modish tragic drama of the day. Lampooning Sir Fretful Plagiary's absurdly bombastic historical drama during its confused stages of production, its satire never fails to delight. The texts of the plays have been newly edited by the General Editor of the Oxford World's Classics English Drama series. A fine introduction and notes on Sheridan's playhouses and critical inheritance make this an invaluable edition for study and performance alike.

This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from the Prologue: Ladies, this Play in too much haste was writ, To be o'ercharg'd with either Plot or Wit; 'Twas got, conceiv'd, and born in six Weeks Space, And Wit, you know, 's as slow in Growth--as Grace. Sure it can ne'er be ripen'd to your Taste; I doubt 'twill prove our Author bred too fast: For mark 'em well, who with the Muses marry, They rarely do conceive, but they miscarry. 'Tis the hard Fate of those who are big with Rhyme, Still to be brought-to-bed before their Time. Of our late Poets, Nature few has made; The greatest part--are only so by Trade. Still want of something brings the scribbling Fit; For want of Money some of 'em have writ, And others do't, you see-for want of Wit. Honour, they fancy, summons 'em to write, So out they lug in resty Nature's spight, As some of you spruce Beaux do-when you fight. Yet let the Ebb of Wit be ne'er so low, Some Glimpse of it a Man may hope to show, Upon a Theme so ample--as a Beau. So, howsoe'er true Courage may decay, Perhaps there's not one Smock-Face here to-day, But's bold as Caesar-to attack a Play. Nay, what's yet more, with an undaunted Face, To do the Thing with more heroick Grace, 'Tis six to four y' attack the strongest Place. You are such Hotspurs in this kind of Venture, Where there's no Breach, just there you needs must enter. But be advis'd-- E'en give the Hero and the Critique o'er, For Nature sent you on another score; She formed her Beau, for nothing but her Whore. This comedy if five acts was written in England in 1776."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Quotatoes, Joycean Exogenesis in the Digital Age offers fourteen original essays on the genetic dossiers of Joyce’s fiction and the ties that bind the literary archive to the transatlantic print sphere of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Availing of digital media and tools, online resources, and new forms of access, the contributions delve deeper than ever before into Joyce’s programmatic reading for his oeuvre, and they posit connections and textual relations with major and minor literary figures alike never before established. The essays employ a broad range of genetic methodologies from ‘traditional’ approaches to intertextuality and allusion to computational methods that plumb Large-scale Digitisation Initiatives like Google Books to the possibilities of databasing for Joyce studies.
