British Plays From the Restoration to 1820 is an extensive and authoritative collection edited by Montrose J. Moses, offering a comprehensive survey of the evolution of the British stage across more than a century and a half. This anthology brings together a significant selection of dramatic works that defined the English theatrical landscape during the Restoration, the Augustan age, and the early 19th century.
From the witty comedies of manners that flourished following the return of King Charles II to the robust tragedies and sentimental dramas of the Georgian era, these volumes showcase the stylistic diversity and social reflections of British society. Each play is chosen to highlight key milestones in literary history, providing readers with insights into the changing tastes, moral values, and political climates of the period. This collection serves as an essential resource for students of drama, theater historians, and lovers of classic literature, preserving the legacy of the playwrights who shaped the British stage between 1660 and 1820.
