The Cambridge Introduction to English Theatre, 1660-1900（ISBN=9780521547901） pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　This introduction aims to share with readers the author's

enjoyment of the turbulent 240-year history of a theatre that

tried, often against the odds, to be 'modern'. In each of its five

parts, it deals successively with history and cultural context,

with the plays and the actors who caught the imagination of their

era. Peter Thomson's text, always approachable, is enriched by

quotations and carefully selected illustrations that capture 'the

spirit of the age' under consideration. Beginning with the

reopening of the playhouses under licence from Charles II, Thomson

introduces the modern English theatre by breaking off at key dates

- 1700, 1737, 1789 and 1843 - in order to explore both continuity

and innovation. Familiar names and well-known plays feature

alongside the forgotten and neglected. This is a reading of

dramatic history that keeps constantly in mind the material

circumstances that produced, and sometimes oppressed, a supremely

popular theatre.
