1699 1ed Jeremey Collier Defense of Short View of English Theater Puritan Plays Jeremy Collier was a 17th-century English theater critic who, in 1698, wrote a highly controversial attack on English comedies. Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage was filled with Collier s views on what he considered to be profanity and immorality in English plays. He believed plays should be providing moral encouragement, rather than encouraging unethical vices. Immediately after Collier s Short View was released, playwrights quickly responded with their own attacks on Collier s views. Naturally, Collier published his own defense of his Short View which focused heavily on the content William Congreve s plays. This 1699 first edition of Defense is a fine printing of the literary war between Puritan restrictions and English dramatists!
