Beecher's general introduction, though stand-alone, complements and extends the historical and critical essay prefacing the first volume. Together, the eleven plays in both volumes illuminate the range, variety, and development of the Italian comedy.The second volume of Renaissance Comedy raises fascinating questions about the uses of classical literature, the conventions of comedy, the politics of theatrical production, and the representation of contemporary social issues. Though it is clear that comedic plays exercised considerable influence over the development of European drama, these plays are above all remarkable for their sheer wit and invention, and their capacity to generate laughter and admiration in readers nearly half a millennium later. 410 0$aLorenzo da Ponte Italian library. 606 $aItalian drama (Comedy)$vTranslations into English 606 $aItalian drama$yTo 1700$vTranslations into English 606 $aItalian drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian drama$yTo 1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zItaly$xHistory 607 $aItalienisch$2swd 607 $aItaly$2fast 608 $aTranslations. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian drama (Comedy) 615 0$aItalian drama 615 0$aItalian drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 676 $a852 700 $aBeecher$b Don, $01511263 702 $aBeecher$b Donald 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791659303321 996 $aRenaissance comedy$93744419 997 $aUNINA
