Farquhar's Contributions and the Post-1707 Theatre; Conclusion; Notes; Works Cited; IndexAt the beginning of the eighteenth century, British theatre saw a shift from what critics now call 'Restoration' to 'sentimental' comedy. Focusing on the career of the Irish dramatist George Farquhar (1678-1707), Heard argues that experimentation was the basis for this change. Farquhar's first play, "Love and a Bottle" (1698) relied on outdated plot devices and character types. By contrast, his final two plays, "The Recruiting Officer" (1706) and "The Beaux Stratagem" (1707) used creative new elements to connect with English audiences. Over ten years, Farquhar and his contemporaries experimented with characters, plot lines, and dialogue in an attempt to woo their audiences. In doing so they initiated a new era in British comedy.English drama (Comedy)History and criticismEnglish drama18th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismElectronic books.English drama (Comedy)History and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.822.052309Heard Elisabeth J.1056602MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452317003321Experimentation on the English stage, 1695-17082491110UNINA03861nam 22007692 450 991078846810332120160506134741.01-107-21788-10-511-99361-70-511-99043-X0-511-98682-30-511-99142-80-511-99241-61-283-05011-00-511-98862-197866130501130-511-97512-0(CKB)3190000000006420(SSID)ssj0000462797(PQKBManifestationID)11307022(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000462797(PQKBWorkID)10409171(PQKB)11398773(MiAaPQ)EBC647431(Au-PeEL)EBL647431(CaPaEBR)ebr10442822(CaONFJC)MIL305011(OCoLC)700706262(UkCbUP)CR9780511975127(PPN)199803757(EXLCZ)99319000000000642020101011d2011|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPolitical Islam, Iran, and the enlightenment philosophies of hope and despair /Ali Mirsepassi[electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2011.1 online resource (vii, 230 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-74590-X 0-521-76882-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: political Islam's romance with the 'West' -- 1. Intellectuals and the politics of despair -- 2. The crisis of the nativist imagination -- 3. Modernity beyond nativism and universalism -- 4. Heidegger and Iran: the dark side of being and belonging -- 5. Democracy and religion in the thought of John Dewey -- 6. Enlightenment and moral politics -- 7. Conclusion.Ali Mirsepassi's book presents a powerful challenge to the dominant media and scholarly construction of radical Islamist politics, and their anti-Western ideology, as a purely Islamic phenomenon derived from insular, traditional and monolithic religious 'foundations'. It argues that the discourse of political Islam has strong connections to important and disturbing currents in Western philosophy and modern Western intellectual trends. The work demonstrates this by establishing links between important contemporary Iranian intellectuals and the central influence of Martin Heidegger's philosophy. We are also introduced to new democratic narratives of modernity linked to diverse intellectual trends in the West and in non-Western societies, notably in India, where the ideas of John Dewey have influenced important democratic social movements. As the first book to make such connections, it promises to be an important contribution to the field and will do much to overturn some pervasive assumptions about the dichotomy between East and West.Political Islam, Iran, & the EnlightenmentIntellectualsPolitical activityIranIslam and politicsIranPolitics and cultureIranIslam and secularismIranIslamic modernismIranIranPolitics and governmentIranIntellectual lifeIntellectualsPolitical activityIslam and politicsPolitics and cultureIslam and secularismIslamic modernism320.5/570955Mirsepassi Ali712788UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910788468103321Political Islam, Iran, and the enlightenment3842031UNINA
