Richard Brinsley Sheridan Libri

Testo inglese a fronte La maldicenza è un vizio o un'arte? E' questo il mistero dei protagonisti di questa intricata commedia. Forse il segreto sta nel saper prendere la vita con filosofia e la soluzione a tutti i problemi prima o poi arriverà da sola. Qualcuno imparerà a non fidarsi delle apparenze, qualcun altro che nulla è duraturo come sembra, e qualcun altro ancora capirà di chi si può fidare veramente. Apparsa nel 1777, La scuola della maldicenza segnava l'addio alla più festosa stagione della commedia inglese: le commedie libertine, specchio e gioco della società del secolo illuminato, non reggeranno infatti l'ansia di verità e l'individualismo eroico del romanticismo.

The Critic was Sheridan's response to a very specific political and theatrical situation. In the summer of 1779, a Franco-Spanish invasion seemed imminent and patriotic fervour superseded party divisions and personal animosities. The Critic satirises the panic of the summer in the form of the comically misconceived tragedy 'The Spanish Armada' that is in rehearsal in the second and third acts, but The Critic ends with genuine patriotic feeling. This edition traces both the political and the theatrical objects of Sheridan's satire and discusses its reliance (and improvement) on earlier meta-theatrical burlesques like The Duke of Buckingham's Restoration romp The Rehearsal.
