Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of William Congreve Most authors on the stage at first appear Like widows' bridegrooms, full of doubt and fear: They judge, from the experience of the dame, How hard a task it is to quench her flame And who falls short of furnishing a course, Up to his brawny predecessor's force, With utmost rage from her embraces thrown, Remains convicted, as an empty drone. Thus often, to his shame, a pert beginner Proves, in the end, a miserable sinner. As for our youngster, I am apt to doubt him, With all the vigour of his youth about him, But he, more sanguine, trusts in one-and-twenty, And impudently hopes he shall content you For though his Bachelor be worn and cold, He thinks the young may club to help the old.

Download or read book William Congreve Classic Reprint written by D. Crane Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Congreve It has been thought unwise to burden the pages of this biography with excessive footnotes. They are used only where the source of material is not stated or implied in the text and for supplementary information. When the full title of a book has been given it is subsequently abbreviated, and well-known reference works are referred to by their short title whenever possible. Quotation, particularly from letters, has been liberally used when it has embodied a personal attitude. We become more aware of men's qualities and their relation with their fellows through their own words than by means of any account of what they have said. If we are interested in a man weprefer to listen to him and his friends when they discuss themselves than to any biographer's report, which is at best second hand. This biography would not have been written except for the suggestions of its subject and method of treatment by Sir Walter Raleigh, who was an inspiring guide and teacher. Much helpful advice, particularly with regard to source material, was also given by Professor Nichol Smith and Mr. Brett Smith. To several others who have assisted me with details and suggestions I must remain silently indebted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For though one should have a vanity in ruining another's reputation, yet the other may only have an ambition to advance his own. And I beg leave, my lord, that I may plead the latter, both as the cause and excuse of this dedication. Whoever is king is also the father of his country; and as nobody can dispute your lordship's monarchy in poetry, so all that are concerned ought to acknowledge your universal patronage. And it is only presuming on the privilege of a loyal subject that I have ventured to make this, my address of thanks, to your lordship, which at the same time includes a prayer for your protection.

Book excerpt: NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS The Comedies Of William Congreve (Volume I): Edited, With Introduction By G. S. Street, In Two Volumes, Vol. I. This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Download or read book Congreve the Drama and the Printed Word written by Julie Stone Peters and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late seventeenth century, theater and print began the history of their tense relations and imperfect alliance. Plays, of course, had been printed in England for more than a century. However, it was not until the printing of fine editions of English playwrights, by Tonson and others, that it became common for dramatists to worry over the details of both performace and print and to supervise closely the publication of their own works. The theater was joining itself to the page, defining itself against the printed word. The author's focus is the most active phase of the career of William Congreve, a crucial juncture in the history of print and publishing, the two decades before the 1710 Copyright Act, when the book trade was becoming a large, intricate, and lucrative commercial business. Congreve's work in the theater began to yield to his work with the book trade (not only as playwright but also as poet, scholar, translator, and editor), culminating in the three-volume edition of his Works in 1710.
