Perspectives on Restoration DramaManchester University Press, 2002 - 198 pagini This book introduces students to drama from the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the early 18th Century.

Her study covers heroic drama, comedy, tragedy, tragi-comedy, and Shakespeare adaptations, by focusing on specific 'dramatic highlights' and giving close reading of particular plays. |
