Synopsis

Thomas Shadwell's Libertine is a literary study by August Steiger that examines the work of the English playwright and poet Thomas Shadwell. The book focuses on Shadwell's play The Libertine, which tells the story of a man named Horner who feigns impotence in order to seduce women. Steiger's study provides a complementary perspective to the Don Juan literature, which often explores themes of sexual conquest and moral corruption. Through a close analysis of Shadwell's play, Steiger explores the ways in which the libertine figure challenges traditional notions of morality and virtue. The book also examines the historical and cultural context in which Shadwell's work was produced, shedding light on the social and political issues of the time. Overall, Thomas Shadwell's Libertine offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on one of the most controversial and provocative works of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
