English Comic Dramatists is a book written by Oswald Crawfurd and originally published in 1883. The book is a comprehensive study of the history and development of English comic drama, from its origins in medieval times to the late 19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different period in the history of English comic drama. The first chapter explores the origins of comic drama in medieval times, while subsequent chapters examine the development of comic drama during the Renaissance, the Restoration period, and the 18th and 19th centuries. Throughout the book, Crawfurd provides detailed analyses of the works of prominent English comic dramatists, including William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, George Farquhar, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and Oscar Wilde. He also discusses the social and cultural contexts in which these plays were written and performed, and the ways in which they reflected and commented on contemporary society.English Comic Dramatists is an important work of literary criticism and cultural history, offering valuable insights into the evolution of English comic drama and its place in the broader context of English literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
