Brief comments on William Congreve’s The Way of the World
February 18, 2007
Unfortunately, I will be unable to comment on Southerne’s Oroonoko due to various time constraints. However, comments on William Congreve’s The Way of the World will eventually be written later this week. Although, since most of my thoughts on this play will be found in our group’s presentation next Thursday and I do not want to post ideas that will repeated then, I will only post my thoughts on the play after said presentation. The themes will I will be writing about are related to the conflict between the private and public sphere (among other things), a theme that appears quite frequently in some of the Restoration plays that we have read (and that I have already written about in relation to Dryden, I think).
Thus, a post will appear soon on this blog (after this one).
