### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Sheridan, political wit and playwright
  

*by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2009*

Richard Brinsley Sheridan is famous for "The School for Scandal" which in many ways epitomizes the wit and the morals of the 18th century. It looks back toward Restoration Comedy of the century before, but Sheridan's wit is less bitter and more good-humored than his predecessors. Of course Restoration comedy came from men who had survived a bitter Civil War whether or not they had actually been participants. Their cynicism and the deliberate artificiality of say "The Way of the World" along with deliberate cruelty exhibited toward persons whose only vice is to fail being being "witty" makes for uncomfortable reading, the sort of twinge which exists in a lot of 20th century drama, Joe Orton for example.Sheridan on the other hand likes a joke, likes to ridicule worthy subjects and has a wonderfully light hand with dialogue. He came from a theatrical family and knew in his bones (his first play "The Rivals" was written when he was barely out of his teens!) what would work on the stage.This is an excellent edition with an informative forward and good notes. The only caveat I have is the cover: why select an actress and a play from a totally different playwright and indeed period? Surely they could have found one of the actresses who actually starred in his plays?

    A Classic
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013*

This is a classic and does not need my approval to be a great work.  It's a breath of fresh air after reading restoration comedy.  The awful stereotypes in it are simply a refection of the age.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars
