Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Binding slightly bumped, otherwise very good condition / Einband leicht bestoßen, sonst sehr guter Zustand. - The author sees a tendency in modern criticism for critical theory and critical practice to be out of step; while much critical theory is too far divorced from practice, practical criticism is often divorced from the rigorous application of critical thought and precise language. A strong conviction that good criticism grows from a sympathetic application of rigorous and logical thought to actual texts has led the author to try to redress the imbalance in much modem criticism. Starting with an analysis of modern critical theories of the comic, the book attempts to reconcile opposing views of the comic in an original synthesis that helps to explain the varieties of the comic and the vexed question of the relationship of the comic to comedy. Having differentiated between various types of comedy the author discusses the fundamental types with reference to an example of each taken from the great period of English comedy from 1590 to the closing of the theatres in 1642. The two kinds of satiric comedy are illustrated and contrasted in Jonsons The Alchemist and Thomas Middletons A Mad World, My Masters. These are contrasted with the two fundamental types of benevolent comedy illustrated in Dekkers Shoemakers Holiday and Bromes A Jovial Crew. Dekkers collaborations with Middleton are discussed to highlight the essential difference in comic stance between the two playwrights. Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew is used to illustrate an ambivalent neutral kind of comedy characteristic of its author. In discussing these particular plays the author relates the text, where necessary, to the intellectual milieu of its own day, but the object throughout is not to treat the plays as museum pieces, but as living examples of the successful exploitation of comic principles in dramatic literature.
