Description

Explore the complex history of Restoration libertine drama in this scholarly work from Rutgers University Press. Lothario's Corpse examines how these dramatic works remained popular on and off the stage throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. While many theater histories suggest these plays disappeared after 1688, Daniel Gustafson provides a different perspective by tracking their lasting impact on British culture. This book looks at how writers and performers used radical characters and scenarios of aristocratic license to navigate the tensions between the emerging liberal subject and sovereign absolutism. It is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of British theater, literature, and thought between 1650 and 1850. Part of the Transits: Literature, Thought & Culture series, this text offers a deep look into how performance shaped the cultural landscape of the era.
