No longer seen as a privileged arena for select dramatists and elite courtiers, the Restoration theatre is revealed in all of its tumult, energy and conflict. The fourteen newly-commissioned essays examine the theatre, paying attention to major playwrights such as Dryden, Wycherly and Congreve and also to more minor works and to plays by the first professional female dramatists. The book begins with chapters on the performance of the drama in its own time, on theatres, acting and staging, and continues with the main dramatic genres and themes, with a final chapter on the critical history of the drama. The volume also includes a thorough chronology and biographies and bibliographies of dramatists. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish drama$yRestoration, 1660-1700$xHistory and criticism$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 676 $a822/.409 702 $aPayne Fisk$b Deborah 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216699103316 996 $aCambridge companion to English Restoration theatre$91268991 997 $aUNISA
