The select dramatic works of John Dryden

About the Book

Books on British and Irish Theatre mainly contain the full scripts of plays that were written in Britain and Ireland. The theatre flourished in Elizabethan times, led by William Shakespeare, was paused during the Puritan period, but restored in the late 17th century. Other titles provide critical analysis of plays. A long list of British and Irish plays written and performed between the 16th and 20th centuries has been preserved, some examples being: the full complement of Shakespeare's plays, Golden Texts from the Works of William Shakespeare, Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, Sweet Lavender, The Mob, The Case of Rebellious Susan, Tristram & Iseult, The Sorcerer, and The Admirable Crichton.

Also in this Book

A Family Saga or Family Life novel chronicles the life of a family, or several generations. The story is usually set against the backdrop of history, with the waxing and waning of fortunes and inter-generational issues providing interest. An example is Poor White, by Sherwood Anderson.

And in this Book

Religious and Liturgical Drama dates back to liturgical Mystery Play of the Medieval period, and Morality Plays of the 15th and 16th centuries. An example of this genre, performed in German, is Ein Weihnachtsmärlein.
