English 3336 Restoration and Eighteenth Century
Drama and Theatre
Prompt # 35
30 November 2012
Decisions, perhaps
The process
Here are the plays we're currently considering:
-
Behn, Aphra. The Rover; or, The Banished Cavaliers (1677)
-
Dryden, John. All For Love (1677)
-
Dryden, John. Marriage a-la-Mode (1673)
-
Etherege, Sir George. The Man of Mode; or, Sir Fopling Flutter (1676)
-
Villiers, George, Duke of Buckingham, et al. The Rehearsal (1671)
-
Wycherley, William. The Country Wife (1675)
We have a substantial amount to read. We'll take whatever time is needed
to read the reports carefully, and with some luck we will be able to decide
on one play we're all going to read. I'm wondering whether we might, in
fact, want to decide on a couple of plays, and an order in which they should
be read. We'll see what happens.
In any case, there will be a prompt later today outlining what we're
going to need to do between now and our last meeting of the term, next
Wednesday.
