Synopsis

Thomas Shadwell's Libertine is a book written by August Steiger that provides a complementary study to the Don Juan literature. The book examines the work of Thomas Shadwell, a seventeenth-century English playwright, and his play The Libertine, which is a retelling of the Don Juan story. Steiger explores the themes of the play, including the idea of libertinism and the consequences of living a life of excess. He also analyzes the characters in the play, particularly the protagonist, Dorimant, who embodies the idea of the libertine. The book provides historical context for the play and its reception, as well as a critical analysis of its significance in the canon of English literature. Steiger also compares Shadwell's version of the Don Juan story to other literary adaptations, including those by Lord Byron and Moli�����re. Overall, Thomas Shadwell's Libertine is a comprehensive study of a lesser-known work in the Don Juan literary tradition, providing valuable insights into the themes and characters of the play and its place in 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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
