Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating volume presents a remarkable collection of 17th-century comedies drafted before the English Civil War. One of the earliest plays in this tome, The Woman-Hater was first performed around 1606 and reflects the literary style and sensibilities of the Jacobean era. A collaborative work potentially written by both Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, the play follows the misadventures of Gondarino, a man who despises all women due to the unfaithfulness of his former wife. Among the colourful cast of characters is Lazarillo, a gluttonous courtier in relentless pursuit of the finest foods, particularly a delicacy known as the Umbrana's head. The play engages with broader issues of gender, satirizing the ridiculous nature of misogyny while exploring the complexities of romantic love. Its insights into human behaviour and its blend of humour and pathos continue to resonate with contemporary audiences, cementing this work as a significant contribution to the canon of English Renaissance drama. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330484807_0
