Cíle předmětu

In this course, students focus primarily on drama written and performed from the second half of the 17th century, following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, up until the latter half of the 18th century, when the fashion of "Restoration drama" slowly faded and was replaced by new genres and forms. Students are encouraged to explore the richness and diversity of theatre, which was dismissed by some contemporary commentators as alarmingly licentious and immoral. We will consider a wide variety of genres which were staged at the period, including tragedy, ballad opera or Shakespearean adaptation. The main focus, however, will be set on what has since been described as the first modern comedies. Concentrating on the works of major dramatists of the period, students examine the ways in which these texts conspire with, and challenge, dominant social, moral and cultural concepts. Focused reading of the plays, and a consideration of the text in performance (both through discussion and, in some cases, watching recorded performances or film adaptations), will emphasise the continuities and innovations of the genre(s). An appreciation of the various relationships between these plays, and an emphasis on contemporary and recent adaptations, are important aspects of this course.
