Representation of the Impiety and Immorality of the English Stage (1704)
In 'Representation of the Impiety and Immorality of the English Stage (1704),' editors Josiah Woodward and Emmett Langdon Avery curate a compelling anthology that scrutinizes the moral landscape of early 18th-century English theatre. This collection is marked by its rich diversity in literary styles, encompassing a range of critiques, plays, and essays that serve to frame the theatrical scene of the era not as mere entertainment but as a mirror of societal ethics and values. The anthology stands out for its critical examination of what the editors perceive as the erosion of moral standards, providing an invaluable lens through which we can understand cultural and ethical debates of the time....
The Birth of Pandora
This book brings together many of John Barrell's essays - some written especially for this volume - on the history and politics of culture in eighteenth-century Britain. It addresses a wide range of cultural practices - painting, sculpture, poetry, the law, the division of labour - discussing them in relation to such issues as sexuality, the body and representation and the distinction between public and private. The Birth of Pandora will interest all those involved with or interested in cultural history and cultural studies.
