"This book censured immortality and profanity in recent plays by the so-called 'Orange comedians', foremost among whom were Congreve and Vanbrugh. It did so in a style of close textual analysis that would be highly influential on future critics, both Christian and scholar. It opened with the premise that 'The business of Plays is to recommend Virtue and discountenance Vice,' and ended with a section complaining that sinful characters were escaping dramatic justice. A Short View was rancorous, pugnacious and literal-minded, but also intelligent and biting. It was an instant bestseller." Review by Ophelia Field, extracted from her book, The Kit-Cat Club, (p.65)London, 2008. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
