This is part of a series of books that explores the work of
dramatists. This particular book looks at the lasting appeal of
Sheridan and Goldsmith's comedies, showing how they operate on a
profound imaginative level and draw on their author's experiences
as Irish wits on an English scene. Their dramatic technique's are
examined in relation to physical features of the 18th century
stage. A chapter on sentimental comedy relates plays such as Hugh
Kelly's "False Delicacy" to the balance of irony and sentiment in
Goldsmith's "The Good Natur'd Man" and Sheridan's "A Trip to
Scarborough". The continuing freshness of the comedy of mistakes,
masks and harlequin-like role playing which the two playwrights
draw from the operatic and theatrical conventions of their day is
illustrated by comparison with modern productions.
