内容説明
This book provides a rereading of dramatic language in the comedies of Etherege, Wycherley and Congreve. It places the concept of "style" in both theoretical and historical context and demonstrates that the comic wit of the late 1600s was a complex means used by these playwrights to question orthodox political, social and sexual values. The author draws on postmodern theories of discourse to discuss the historical problems posed by late 17th century dramatic style. He offers a dialogic account of style based on the work of the Russian theorist, Mikhail Bakhtin and gives a revisionist reading of 17th century stylistic theory.
