The Cambridge Companion to English Restoration Theatre
Author: Deborah Payne Fisk
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139825674
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
This rich and varied portrait of the drama from 1660 to 1714 provides students with essential information about playwrights, staging and genres, situating them in the social and political culture of the time. No longer seen as a privileged arena for select dramatists and elite courtiers, the Restoration theatre is revealed in all of its tumult, energy and conflict. The fourteen newly-commissioned essays examine the theatre, paying attention to major playwrights such as Dryden, Wycherly and Congreve and also to more minor works and to plays by the first professional female dramatists. The book begins with chapters on the performance of the drama in its own time, on theatres, acting and staging, and continues with the main dramatic genres and themes, with a final chapter on the critical history of the drama. The volume also includes a thorough chronology and biographies and bibliographies of dramatists.

Imagining Shakespeare's Original Audience, 1660-2000
Author: Bettina Boecker
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137379960
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Comparatively little is known about Shakespeare's first audiences. This study argues that the Elizabethan audience is an essential part of Shakespeare as a site of cultural meaning, and that the way criticism thinks of early modern theatregoers is directly related to the way it thinks of, and uses, the Bard himself.
