Excerpt from Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, 1916, Vol. 31
Duty of Man), the dashing adventuresses of Mrs. Hay wood, are pictures of the gay libertine with all that the libertine would dislike left out, all that he would like to be or to do heightened, exaggerated, as adequately as the rather moderate powers of the authors would permit. It is the language of romance, of the heroic romance of Scudery, and of the heroic tragedy, which these creatures speak when they rise towards the climax of their stories. And romance of a different order has colored the actions which are given them, the sentiments they express, and the view of life which their creators must be supposed to have possessed. The libertine of these novels is as roman tic as his language. The conception of life held by the novelist is romantic. And the comedy of this period, which, in spite of its notable diflerences in style and in restraint, handles libertinism in this very fashion, has also a basis of romance.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a new perspective on the works of William Congreve, an English playwright of the late 17th and 18th centuries. Known for his clever and witty comedies, Congreve was one of the most celebrated writers of his era, and his literary style influenced English literature for centuries. The author of this book, however, challenges the typical interpretation of Congreve's works as purely cynical and worldly, arguing instead that they possess a surprisingly romantic depth. Through detailed analysis of Congreve's major comedies, the author demonstrates that Congreve celebrated the gallantry and pleasures of libertinism as an ideal to strive for, painting a utopian vision of it in his plays. However, the author does not shy away from Congreve's faults, acknowledging both the grossness of language found in his works and his moral culpability in depicting licentiousness as a source of happiness. The author asserts that these faults should not overshadow the genuine charm and significant themes found in Congreve's body of work, themes that merit a fresh appraisal by modern readers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
