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 Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain 1750 1850 written by Devoney Looser and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century. Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim -- despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of "classics," adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her Subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.
