In Restoration Stage Comedies and Hollywood Remarriage Films,
Elizabeth Kraft brings the canon of Restoration comedy into the
conversation initiated by Stanley Cavell in his book Pursuits of
Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage. Before there could
be imagined remarriages of the sort Cavell documents, there had to
be imagined marriages of equality. Such imagined marriages were
first mapped out on the Restoration stage by witty pairs such as
Harriet and Dorimant, Millamant and Mirabell, and Alithea and
Harcourt who are precursors of the central couples in films such as
Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, and The Lady Eve. In considering
the Restoration comedy canon in one-on-one discourse with the
Hollywood remarriage comedy canon, Kraft demonstrates the
indebtedness of the twentieth-century films to the Restoration
dramatic texts-and the philosophical richness of both canons as
they explore the nature and significance of marriage as pursuit of
moral perfectionism. Her book will be of interest to specialists in
Restoration drama and film scholars.
