Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of three figures in the rise of sentimental comedy in 18th-century England: Jeremy Collier, Colley Cibber, and Richard Steele. The author argues that Collier's criticism of Restoration comedies for their immorality was instrumental in prompting a shift away from Restoration comedy's focus on vice and folly toward sentimental comedy's emphasis on virtue and sentimentality. Despite Cibber's claims of moral intent in his plays, the author finds that sentimentality in his work was primarily a matter of business strategy. In contrast, the author posits that Steele was a sincere and influential moralist whose work played a central role in establishing sentimental comedy. This book sheds light on the evolution of English comedy and the enduring legacy of sentimentalism in literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
