Inhalt
English Restoration Comedy, also known as ‘comedy of manners’, covers a historical period between 1660 and 1710. Restoration period followed an era of puritanical role in England that banned any types of public performances at the theatre. The playhouses and theatres were re-opened by Charles II, the newly restored King of England. This new freedom and re-opening of theatres after a ban of 18 years during the Puritan role gave birth to a ‘rakish’ style of theatre that was witty, satirical, bawdy, clever, uproarious and socially diverse. While many critics considered the plays from this period as highly immoral, artificial or just plain old-fashioned, the social satire they offer makes for fascinating analysis.

In this course, we are going to analyze and interpret plays from both historical and social context of Restoration period. In-class discussion will take a critical look at typical motifs and concepts in Restoration Comedy, as well as on the courtly politics, class relations and the divisions between London and country life of the late 17th century England. To do so, students must read the plays listed below by the beginning of the semester.
