Restoration Comedy : Crises of Desire and Identity PDF
by Edward Burns
- Information
Description
What is Restoration comedy? What pleasure does it offer its audience, and what significance does it find in exploring that pleasure?
Edward Burns here provides a new account of the origins and nature of Restoration comedy as a distinct genre.
The book enlarges the usual focus with a wider range of writers than the conventional ossified canon taking in a revaluation of many rarely studied dramatists, a reconsideration of pastoral, and the instatement of women writers as major contributors to the culture of the age.
It offers a substantial and original interpretation of one of the most intriguing of seventeenth-century literature forms.
