Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the reader with a wickedly sharp-witted satire collected from plays by the author, a celebrated playwright in their time. Taking aim at Restoration comedies of the 17th century, the author here uses his plays to lampoon the vanities, follies and vices that were common in polite society of the era. In a time when plays largely focused on affairs of the heart, the author instead skewers societal affectations and the artifice of courtly manners, with particular attention paid to the absurdities of fashion and fads that shift from season to season. The author, no doubt drawing from their own experience as a playwright for hire, makes canny observations on the limitations of the form, while also taking the opportunity to air their views on writing itself. Indeed, this book includes an essay by the author on the subject, arguing against the tendency to judge a play by the quality of its language alone. This is a body of work that delights both for the cleverness of its humor and the pith of its wisdom, revealing the universality of human foibles regardless of the era in which they are found. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780332475516_0
