Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the genesis of Teague, the frequently recurring comedic Irish stage type popularised during the Restoration era. The author traces Teague's emergence through the works of four notable playwrights: Robert Howard, Thomas Shadwell, George Farquhar, and Richard Steele, highlighting the evolution of the character from its initial caricature to a more nuanced and sympathetic representation. The book examines the historical and cultural context that shaped Teague's development, exploring the complex relationship between Ireland and England during this period. It analyses the ways in which Teague embodies the tensions and prejudices of his time, while also serving as a vehicle for social and political commentary. Through a close reading of key texts, the author sheds light on Teague's enduring legacy in English literature and theatre, demonstrating how this iconic figure continues to resonate with audiences today.
