A Brief View Of The English Drama: From The Earliest Period To The Present Time is a book written by Frederick Guest Tomlins and published in 1840. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of English drama, from its earliest beginnings to the contemporary theater scene of the 19th century. Tomlins traces the development of English drama from the medieval mystery plays and morality plays, through the Renaissance period and the rise of Shakespearean theater, to the Restoration era and the emergence of the modern theater. He discusses the major playwrights and their works, including William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlowe, John Webster, and others. The book also explores the social and cultural contexts in which English drama evolved, including the influence of religion, politics, and the changing tastes of audiences. Tomlins examines the role of actors, stagecraft, and theatrical conventions, and provides insights into the challenges and controversies faced by playwrights and theater companies throughout history.Overall, A Brief View Of The English Drama is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the rich and varied history of English theater. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of drama as an art form, and provides a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical forces that have shaped it over the centuries.With Suggestions For Elevating The Present Condition Of The Art, And Of Its Professors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
