English Comic Dramatists is a book written by Oswald Crawfurd and 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 contemporary theater of the late 19th century. Crawfurd examines the work of many notable English comic playwrights, including William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Oliver Goldsmith, and Oscar Wilde. He analyzes their plays in detail, discussing their themes, characters, and techniques of comedy. The book also explores the social and cultural context of English comic drama, including its relationship to popular entertainment, politics, and morality. English Comic Dramatists is a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature, theater history, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the history of comedy and its role in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
