Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the dramatic criticism of Thomas Rymer, a prominent figure in the world of literary criticism during the late 17th century. The author explores Rymer's theories on genre, characterization, and the purpose of literature, situating his ideas within the broader context of European classicism. Rymer believed that literature should adhere to a strict set of rules and conventions, and that its primary goal was to teach moral lessons. He famously criticized the works of Shakespeare and other popular playwrights of his time, arguing that they violated these principles. The book examines Rymer's critique of the "tragedies of the last age," focusing on his analysis of specific plays by Beaumont, Fletcher, Shakespeare, and Jonson. It also delves into Rymer's controversial theory of the "poetic machine," which argued that the supernatural and the marvelous were essential elements of effective drama. Through a close examination of Rymer's writings, the author demonstrates the enduring influence of classicism on literary criticism and the ways in which Rymer's ideas continue to shape our understanding of drama and literature. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of literary criticism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
