Hodges, Professor of Englishat TheUniversity of Tennessee from 1921 to 1962 and head of the English Department from 1937 to 19H2, had written, "Forty years with Congreve-and only 2 slender volumes, and some dozen articles to show." Although a modest man, even he must have recognized that his note did not reflect his achievement in his bi­ ography, William Congreve the Man, and his discovery and publica.tion of Congreve's book list, The Library of William Congreve. Following his re­ tirement from teaching, John Hodges climaxed a scholarly life devoted almost exclusively to Congreve with his edition of Congreve's letters. Another result of that devotion was his Congreve library, which contains more than one hundred pre-1800 editions of the dramatist's plays, poems, and collected works. That collection he left to The University of Tennes­ see Library at his death on July 7, 1967. John Hodges did not amass his collection simply for his private use. Even before his death its users ranged from graduate students working on Ph.D. dissertations to his close friend Herbert Davis, who eollated the Hodges quartos in preparing his edition of Congreve's plays. With the belief that John Hodges would wish his collection to be of the widest use to the scholarly world and with the desire to acknowledge his gener­ ous gift, we have compiled this bibliographical catalog. In undertaking our catalog, we discovered that bibliographical research on Congreve has not been extensive. The Ashley and pforzheimer cata­ logs have some fully described entries, and Woodward and McManaway, Hugh Macdonald, Donald Wing, and Carl Stratman provide some limited information. However, the only comprehensive listing, compiled by John P. Anderson as a supplement to Gosse's biography of Congreve, is quite inadequate. It is for this reason that, although we are describing only single copies, we have been as detailed as possible in our deseription of the items in the Hodges collection. Yet even with our limited perspec­ tive and aim we have discovered four eighteenth-century editions of The Mourning Bride not listed by Carl Stratman in his Bibliography of English Printed Tragedy 1565-1900 (see items 60., 63., 68., and 73.); and we are publishing, we believe for the first time in a bibliographical work, descriptions of some of the ornaments used by Jacob Tonson and his ix INTRODUCTION heirs, one of the most important of late Restoration and early eighteenth­ century publishing firms. A definitive bibliography of Congreve-like Hugh Macdonald's Dryden but more detailed-is still needed not only for its obvious bibli­ ographical value but also as an essential tool to be used with the monu­ mental The London Stage 1660-1800 and Emmett Avery's Congreve's Plays on the Eighteenth-Century Stage in the assessment of Congreve's reputation prior to 1800. Even from our study we have been aware that Love for Love and The Mourning Bride were published more frequently than the other three plays. And such a bibliography would make possible sounder texts of Congreve's plays than are now available-even in Herbert Davis's edition. It is now known that the plays were modified in a number of subsequent editions-not simply in the 1710 collected edition-as, for example, Fredson Bowers has noted for The Mourning Bride. A definitive bibliography would provide editors with a means for studying the history of these changes. In the present work our aim has been to provide a catalog of the Hodges collection, with some bibliographical information. We did consider assign­ ing bibliographical numbers to make this catalog the beginning of a Congreve bibliography, but because of the limitations of the collection, particularly in poetry, we realized that this would not be feasible. And such an attempt would have delayed even further a project at least partly commemorative. Yet we believe that this catalog will be of some value. We have described the idiosyncrasies of particular copies, not ideal copy. We have not examined other copies. For example, in the Hodges copy of the third volume of the 1710 Works of Will'l'am Congreve the dedicatory epistle to Lord Halifax has been bound between the section title and the contents list-improperly placed in terms both of the order indicated on the contents list and the signatures, but whether this is typical of the edition we do not know. However, we have attempted on the basis of the textual notes of certain modern editors, particularly Summers and Davis, to record some variants where bibliographical in­ ferences can be reasonably made. In presenting our descriptions, we have adopted basically the system of descriptive bibliography evolved by W. W. Greg and Fredson Bowers in Greg's Bibliography ofthe English Printed Drama to the Restoration and Bowers's Principles of Bibliographical Description and exemplified by Bowers and Richard Beale Davis (George Sandys, a Bibliographical Catalogue of Printed Editions in England to 1700 [New York, 1950)) inso­ far as that system is consistent with our purpose. x INTRODUCTION In compiling the catalog, we determined to use 1800 as the terminal date for two reasons: the end of the eighteenth century marked the end of a particular period of Congreve's reputation and popularity; although the Hodges collection contains most twentieth-century editions of Con­ greve, it contains relatively few nineteenth-century ones-Leigh Hunt's and A. W. Ewald's editions of the collected plays but no editions of in­ dividual ones. We have arranged the items in the catalog in chronological order ac­ cording to the first publication of the individual work. Thus the first item listed is Incognita (1692), although the only separate Restoration or eighteenth-century edition of it in the Hodges collection is that of 1713. Each item-whether a distinct edition, a different issue, or a duplicate­ has been numbered. These numbers have been adopted for reference purposes within this catalog. We have listed together all separate publica­ tions of the individual works. We have followed the catalog of individual works with the editions of the collected poems, the dramatic works, and the collected works, and finally with a list of Congreveana. Our defini­ tion of a collected edition is a volume with a general title page. Thus we have included the 1735 Tonson edition of the plays among the collected editions even though the plays are signed and paged separately.

  • John Dryden and the Late 17Th Century Dramatic Experience Lecture 16 (C) by Asher Ashkar Gohar 1 Credit Hr
    JOHN DRYDEN AND THE LATE 17TH CENTURY DRAMATIC EXPERIENCE LECTURE 16 (C) BY ASHER ASHKAR GOHAR 1 CREDIT HR. JOHN DRYDEN (1631 – 1700) HIS LIFE: John Dryden was an English poet, literary critic, translator, and playwright who was made England's first Poet Laureate in 1668. He is seen as dominating the literary life of Restoration England to such a point that the period came to be known in literary circles as the “Age of Dryden”. The son of a country gentleman, Dryden grew up in the country. When he was 11 years old the Civil War broke out. Both his father’s and mother’s families sided with Parliament against the king, but Dryden’s own sympathies in his youth are unknown. About 1644 Dryden was admitted to Westminster School, where he received a predominantly classical education under the celebrated Richard Busby. His easy and lifelong familiarity with classical literature begun at Westminster later resulted in idiomatic English translations. In 1650 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his B.A. degree in 1654. What Dryden did between leaving the university in 1654 and the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 is not known with certainty. In 1659 his contribution to a memorial volume for Oliver Cromwell marked him as a poet worth watching. His “heroic stanzas” were mature, considered, sonorous, and sprinkled with those classical and scientific allusions that characterized his later verse. This kind of public poetry was always one of the things Dryden did best. On December 1, 1663, he married Elizabeth Howard, the youngest daughter of Thomas Howard, 1st earl of Berkshire.

  • Studies in the Work of Colley Cibber
    BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HUMANISTIC STUDIES Vol. 1 October 1, 1912 No. 1 STUDIES IN THE WORK OF COLLEY CIBBER BY DE WITT C.:'CROISSANT, PH.D. A ssistant Professor of English Language in the University of Kansas LAWRENCE, OCTOBER. 1912 PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY CONTENTS I Notes on Cibber's Plays II Cibber and the Development of Sentimental Comedy Bibliography PREFACE The following studies are extracts from a longer paper on the life and work of Cibber. No extended investigation concerning the life or the literary activity of Cibber has recently appeared, and certain misconceptions concerning his personal character, as well as his importance in the development of English literature and the literary merit of his plays, have been becoming more and more firmly fixed in the minds of students. Cibber was neither so much of a fool nor so great a knave as is generally supposed. The estimate and the judgment of two of his contemporaries, Pope and Dennis, have been far too widely accepted. The only one of the above topics that this paper deals with, otherwise than incidentally, is his place in the development of a literary mode. While Cibber was the most prominent and influential of the innovators among the writers of comedy of his time, he was not the only one who indicated the change toward sentimental comedy in his work. This subject, too, needs fuller investigation. I hope, at some future time, to continue my studies in this field. This work was suggested as a subject for a doctor's thesis, by Professor John Matthews Manly, while I was a graduate student at the University of Chicago a number of years ago, and was con• tinued later under the direction of Professor Thomas Marc Par- rott at Princeton.

  • Robert Bell, Printer
    ROBERT BELL, PRINTER Not quite two years since, in the spring of 1906, the writer came across an item relating to Robert Bell, a Quaker city printer of the later Colo- nial period, whose brilliancy of career was unearthed in detail mainly through a business deal we noted he was to have had with Lancaster's prominent townsman, Edward Ship- pen; and there is so much of general as well as some local interest at- tached to Bell's life that it is now and here presented to our Historical So- ciety as a valuable addition to eastern Pennsylvania history. Some one whose identity has not been revealed states, in the Master Printer, that "Robert Bell's very name is forgotten, and only recalled when one of his publications is found in the auction room or on the second-hand stalls. To the world at large Frank- lin's name stands alone in represent- ing the Philadelphia printer, while that of Bell is as dead as the world's indifference can make it." We shall endeavor to bring his work back to life. Bell practically began his publishing career where the famous Franklin left off, and from then on really issued and sold a larger variety if not more books than his philosophic predeces- sor. The period of hie activity ranges from 1768 to 1784. Bell was in Phila- delphia prior to the former date, prob- ably as early as 1765. He was a re- puted Scotchman, and supposed by one authority to have been a partner of George Alexander Stevens, coming to Philadelphia in 1766.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

This is apparent in both English homes and popular culture, as foreign foods were featured in contemporary recipe books, medical manuals, treatises, travel narratives, and even in plays performed during the period. Their inclusion in the English home and in popular culture is important; it illustrates that there was a general fascination with these foods that went beyond just eating them. When written about in travel narratives or incorporated into plays, the English were able to mentally consume such products.

    UGC MHRD ePGPathshala Subject: English Principal Investigator: Prof. Tutun Mukherjee; University of Hyderabad Paper 02: English Literature 1590 – 1798 Paper Coordinator: Dr. Anna Kurian; University of Hyderabad Module No 31: William Wycherley: The Country Wife Content writer: Ms.Maria RajanThaliath; St. Claret College; Bangalore Content Reviewer: Prof. Tutun Mukherjee; University of Hyderabad Language Editor: Dr. Anna Kurian; University of Hyderabad William Wycherley’s The Country Wife Introduction This lesson deals with one of the most famous examples of Restoration theatre: William Wycherley’s The Country Wife, which gained a reputation in its time for being both bawdy and witty. We will begin with an introduction to the dramatist and the form and then proceed to a discussion of the play and its elements and conclude with a survey of the criticism it has garnered over the years. Section One: William Wycherley and the Comedy of Manners William Wycherley (b.1640- d.1716) is considered one of the major Restoration playwrights. He wrote at a time when the monarchy in England had just been re-established with the crowning of Charles II in 1660. The newly crowned king effected a cultural restoration by reopening the theatres which had been shut since 1642. There was a proliferation of theatres and theatre-goers. A main reason for the last was the introduction of women actors. Puritan solemnity was replaced with general levity, a characteristic of the Caroline court. Restoration Comedy exemplifies an aristocratic albeit chauvinistic lifestyle of relentless sexual intrigue and conquest. The Comedy of Manners in particular, satirizes the pretentious morality and wit of the upper classes.
