This is the first fully annotated edition of Ben Jonson's "The
Magnetic Lady," written in 1632. The introduction places the play
in the context of Jonson's later dramatic and poetic works and
discusses the political context of the Caroline court. A
performance history of the play and fresh material relating to its
17th-century reception are also provided. This new edition by Peter
Happè reappraises Jonson's much-neglected play and argues for its
recognition as a work of real distinction.
This unique volume includes eight early dramas that mirror American literary, social, and cultural history: Royall Tylers The Contrast (1789); William Dunlap's Andre (1798); James Nelson Barker's The Indian Princess (1808); Robert Montgomery Bird's The Gladiator (1831); William Henry Smith's The Drunkard (1844); Anna Cora Mowatt's Fashion (1845); George Aiken's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852); and Dion Boucicault's The Octoroon (1859).
An elucidation in Spanish of the dramatic intentions and accomplishments of the two best imitators of the inspired craftsmanship of Pedro Calderon de la Barca, this is a monograph on Rojas Zorilla and Moreto.
