Frank examines the pre-eminence of gender, sexuality and the theatre in Dryden's critical texts that are predominantly rewritings of the work of his own literary precursors - Ben Jonson, Shakespeare and Milton. She proposes that Dryden develops a native literary tradition that is passed on as an inheritance to his heirs - Aphra Behn, Catharine Trotter, and Delarivier Manley - as well as their male contemporaries. Frank describes the development of criticism in the transition from a court-sponsored theatrical culture to one oriented toward a consuming public, with very different attitudes to gender and sexuality. This study also sets out to trace the historical origins of certain aspects of current criticism - the practices of paraphrase, critical self-consciousness and performativity.Gender, Theatre, & the Origins of CriticismCriticismGreat BritainHistory18th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etcCriticismGreat BritainHistory17th centuryEnglish dramaHistory and criticismTheory, etcSex role in literatureSex in literatureCriticismHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.CriticismHistoryEnglish dramaHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Sex role in literature.Sex in literature.801/.95/094109033Frank Marcie850541UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910449878503321Gender, theatre, and the origins of criticism1899084UNINA
