Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of dramatic works published in the late 17th century and attributed to John Wilson, a lawyer and politician with Jacobite sympathies. At the time, theatre was a key platform for political expression, and Wilson's plays tackled issues of loyalty and power through entertaining comedies ripe with wordplay, mistaken identities and satirical subplots. This book includes four of the author's most famous plays, Andronicus Comnenius, The Cheats, Belphegor and The Projectors, exploring themes of class, religion and gender within a Restoration context. The author's extensive knowledge of law and politics and his unique vantage point as a Jacobite supporter are evident throughout his works which offer contemporary insights into the social and political landscape of the late 17th century. 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. print-on-demand item.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - John Wilson's 'The Dramatic Works of John Wilson' brings together a set of stage-centered works that explore human desire, moral tension, and the shifting boundaries between reason and emotion. Through sharply drawn situations and characters driven by conflicting motives, the plays create a sense of immediacy-where every decision feels consequential. Wilson's dramatic craft emphasizes heightened dialogue and dramatic contrasts, using conflict not only to entertain but to reveal how people justify their choices, misread one another, and struggle against forces larger than themselves. The result is a collection that blends theatrical intensity with probing psychological insight, making each piece feel both vivid on the surface and resonant in its underlying themes.The Dramatic Works of John Wilson is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1874.
