This module focuses on dramatic literature from the period c. 1660-1710 while aiming to study dramatic art in relation to its literary and historical contexts. We will read approximately half a dozen plays in different genres alongside the poetry of John Dryden, the Earl of Rochester, Aphra Behn, and others, and in conversation with Restoration historiography. We will also touch on the material conditions of Restoration theatre: playhouses and stages, players and performances, patronage and economics. (Group B)
