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. 517 3 $aGender, Theatre, & the Origins of Criticism 606 $aCriticism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aCriticism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aSex in literature 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aSex in literature. 676 $a801/.95/094109033 700 $aFrank$b Marcie$0850541 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449878503321 996 $aGender, theatre, and the origins of criticism$91899084 997 $aUNINA
