The First Edition of this acclaimed classroom text presented five distinguished comedies from an especially exciting and innovative period in English theater and society: William Wycherley’s The Country Wife, George Etherege’s The Man of Mode, William Congreve’s The Way of the World, Richard Steele’s The Conscious Lovers, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s The School for Scandal. This Second Edition builds on its predecessor’s strengths by adding a sixth play, Aphra Behn’s The Rover, a comedy that has clearly come into prominence in recent years.

编辑推荐 内容推荐 The First Edition of this acclaimed classroom text presented five distinguished comedies from an especially exciting and innovative period in English theater and society: William Wycherley’s The Country Wife, George Etherege’s The Man of Mode, William Congreve’s The Way of the World, Richard Steele’s The Conscious Lovers, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s The School for Scandal. This Second Edition builds on its predecessor’s strengths by adding a sixth play, Aphra Behn’s The Rover, a comedy that has clearly come into prominence in recent years. The plays are fully annotated for the modern reader and are accompanied by six illustrations. The close relationship between theater and society during the period continues to be the focus of“Contexts.”he editor offers contemporary discussions of the following topics: “On Wit, Humour, and Laughter: 1660-1775,”“ The Collier Controversy: 1698,”“Steele and Dennis: On The Man of Mode and The Conscious Lovers,” and “Stages, Actors, and Audiences.” “Criticism” has been revised to reflect recent approaches in scholarly interpretations. Two seminal essays from the First Edition have been retained--Charles Lamb’s appreciation of the period’s comedy and L. C. Knights’s condemnation of it. New essays by Jocelyn Powell, Harriett Hawkins, Elin Diamond, Martin Price, and Laura Brown have been added. The Selected Bibliography has been thoroughly updated. 目录 Preface to the First Edition Preface to the Second Edition A Note on the Texts The Texts of the Plays U,LUSTRATION: The CountO, Wife, National Theatre, 1977 William Wychcrley · The Country Wife George Etheregc · The Man of Mode Aphra Behn · The Rover ILLUSTRATIONS: The Way of the World, National Theatre, 1969 ILLUSTRATIONS: The Way of the World, National Theatre, 1969 William Congreve · The Way of the World Richard Steele · The Conscious Lovers ILUSTRATIONS: The School for Scandal, Haymarket Theatre, 1962 Richard Brinsley Sheridan · The School for Scandal Contexts ON WIT, ttUMOUR, AND LAUGHTER: 1650-1775 Thonlas Hobbes · [On Laughter] · [On Wit] · [On Power] John Dryden · Preface to An Evening’s Love: or, The Mock Astrologer William Congreve · Concerning Humour in Comedy Richard Steele · Epilogue to The Lying Lover · The Tatler, No. 219 Joseph Addison · The Spectator, No. 47 · The Spectator, No. 62 Oliver Goldsmith · An Essay on the Theater THE COLLIER CONTROVERSY: 1698 Jeremy Collier · A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage John Dennis · The Usefulness of the Stage William Congreve · Amendments of Mr. Collier’s False and Imperfect Citations STEELE AND DENNIS: ON THE MAN OE MODE AND THE CONSCIOUS LOVERS Richard Steele · The Spectator, No. 65 · The Theatre, No. 1 · The Theatre, No. 3 John Dennis · A Defense of Sir Fopling Flutter · Remarks on The Conscious Lovers STAGES, ACTORS, AND AUDIENCES Emmet L.
