Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Astrologer: A Comedy is a play written by James Ralph and first performed in 1744. The story follows the character of Balderdash, an astrologer who uses his knowledge of the stars to manipulate those around him. He convinces a wealthy merchant, Sir Timothy Treatall, to invest in a risky business venture and also tries to win the heart of a young woman named Belinda. However, his plans are foiled by the arrival of a rival astrologer and a series of misunderstandings and mishaps. The play is a satirical commentary on the popular belief in astrology during the 18th century, and also touches on themes of greed, deception, and love.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of Renaissance astrology, delving into a period when the influence of the stars was both widely believed and fiercely debated. The author takes as his subject the play *Albumazar*, a witty comedy that satirizes the practice of astrology and the gullibility of those who trust in its pronouncements. The book reveals that *Albumazar* was not a wholly original work, but a clever adaptation of an Italian play, *Lo Astrologo*, by Giambattista della Porta. The author shows how the English playwright took Porta's work and infused it with a unique blend of social satire and witty characterization. He reveals how the authorââ â¢s play differs significantly from its Italian source in its thematic focus and tone, reflecting the distinctive concerns and cultural anxieties of English society at the time. The book illuminates the complex relationship between astrology and intellectual discourse in the Renaissance, demonstrating how the play's themes resonate with the skepticism and emerging scientific thought of the era. Ultimately, the book offers a rich and insightful look at how one playwright tackled the contentious subject of astrology, revealing much about the intellectual and cultural landscape of the English Renaissance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
