Excerpt: . . . the protection of husbands who labour under the incapacity of making repartees. And Taine, with all his French tolerance for wit, is disgusted with the indecency of the comic writers of the Restoration, and says, We hold our nose and read on. The times were ripe for a new writer. Few of the dramatists of the day were formidable rivals. The one man who might have been a competitor to be feared, a fellow Irishman, --for, as Latin comedy was imitated from the Greek, and as French comedy was modelled upon the Italian, so English comedy has in great part been written by Irishmen, -- the author of the Good-natured Man, Oliver Goldsmith, died in 1774; She Stoops to Conquer, produced the year before, had scotched SentimentalComedy, an imported French fashion, which was slowly strangling the life out of the comic muse ; and although Sheridan, in the Rivals, might choose to do obeisance to this passing fancy by the introduction of those two most tedious persons, Faulkland and Julia, he was soon to repent him of his sins, and in the School for Scandal deal it a final and fatal blow. Cumberland, the sole survivor of the school, had but little life left in him after the appearance of the Critic; and no life is now left in his plays, which have hardly seen the light of the lamps these four-score years. Better luck has attended the more worthy work of George Colman the elder, the author of the Jealous Wife, and of David Garrick, the author possibly of High Life Below Stairs, who had also collaborated in the Clandestine Marriage ; these three plays keep the stage to this day. But in 1775 both Colman and Garrick had ceased to write for the theatre. The coarse, vigorous, hardy satires of Samuel Foote, and the namby-pamby tragedies. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
