Description

Product Description This ambitious work features forty of Etherege's poems and three plays, which are still popular after 300 years. The concordance provides an easy-to-use identification system that helps determine lexical shading, isolate word clusters that suggest patterns of meaning, and examine changes in language over several decades. Speech prefixes in the body of the concordance allow readers to see who is the speaker of a specific line of drama. An appendix of word frequency and cross-references to compound words are also included. Review ?This handsomely bound, folio-sized, computer-prepared concordance (using a readable, though somewhat small, and occasionally blurred typescript') is further evidence of how developing technologies can serve literary studies, especially of the fashionable rhetorical kind. . . . Mann's Preface' asserts, in just a few sentences, the importance of Ethereges influence in developing the tone and style of Restoration comedy through his three plays. . . . Most of Mann's Preface' is a summary of the major features of his text which is based on H.F.B Brett Smith's 1927 edition of the plays (Oxford), and James Thorpe's 1963 edition of the poems (Princeton). . . .Mann reminds his readers of the more obvious ways in which a concordance can be useful to more than students of Etherege. The playwright's use of place names, French terms, and allusions, for example, provide information about fashionable places, tastes, and influences in Restoration London. . . . This one looks good to me. Both Mann and Greenwood Press deserve appreciation for their labors and risks.?-Seventeenth-Century News "This handsomely bound, folio-sized, computer-prepared concordance (using a readable, though somewhat small, and occasionally blurred typescript') is further evidence of how developing technologies can serve literary studies, especially of the fashionable rhetorical kind. . . .
