Disciplining Satire: The Censorship of Satiric Comedy on the Eighteenth-century London StageBucknell University Press, 2002 - 301 páginas This book explains the effects of the Stage Licensing Act of 1737 on its target, satiric comedy. Contextualising the Licensing Act in terms of the Collier Controversy (1698-1728), this book shows that the Walpole ministry avocated a return to the sympathetic satire that developed during that earlier theatrical crisis. |
