The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

"Producible interpretation" is a critical method used by Milhous and Hume to examine eight plays. For each play they present deductions based upon six kinds of investigation: close reading; analysis of the original cast and reception of the original production; study of the scen­ery and machines required for perform­ance; historical reading in terms of 17th-century values and views of subject matter; a survey of the play's production history; and analysis of modern critical opinion. The plays they examine in this man­ner are: The Country-Wife; All for Love; The Spanish Fryar; Venice Preserv'd; Amphitryon; The Wives Excuse; Love for Love; and The Beaux' Stratagem. With each evaluation their emphasis is on the stage-worthiness of the inter­pretation. They stress that "If it can be staged effectively it must possess some kind of validity, even if it is demon­strably remote from the apparent in­tention of the author and the original production."
