▼ My dissertation explores the presence of physiognomy, which is the reading of faces and bodily affects to determine a person’s character. I investigate plays originally produced for the early English stage, ranging from the late Middle Ages to the Restoration. In this work I argue that the bodies within the selected plays exist as texts that are to be interpreted by readers and audience members alike. While embodiment theory has done excellent work in explaining the corporeality of the pre-modern body, it does not consider the body as a textual construction. My work aims to fill such a gap. My main methodology is historicist, both old and new. I employ the former insofar as I incorporate primary texts relevant to understanding physiognomy and its workings on the early English stage. I also use New Historicism since I cover many influences on physiognomy, including theology, politics, and philosophy of the mind. The first chapter probes the York Cycle’s biblical play The Conspiracy, as well as the morality play Mankind. I claim that physiognomy highlights the participatory aspects of both plays, as each contains bodies that help audiences learn of true piety. In the second chapter, I discuss Shakespeare’s problem plays All’s Well that Ends Well and Hamlet. I posit that the genre of problem play can best be understood as including works that contain incomplete or inaccurate physiognomic readings. For my final chapter, I analyze the tragicomedies Marriage a-la-Mode, by John Dryden, and The Widow Ranter, by Aphra Behn. I insist that examining the physiognomic readings can help us unite the dialectics between and among the multiple plots within each play. Over the course of these three chapters, I conclude that the body-as-text, understood through physiognomy, allows modern readers to better grasp pre-modern understandings of internality as it evolved from the Middle Ages to the Restoration. In addition, I contend that genre often dictates the ways in which bodies are constructed textually. In summary, the contributions of my work can be listed as the following: (1) I provide examples of how physiognomy can be used to support a variety of methodologies, including Marxism, feminism, and deconstruction. (2) I offer a more thorough history of physiognomy, ranging from the late Middle Ages to the Restoration. (3) My work with genre is unique among current scholarship that engages with physiognomy. In my conclusion, I suggest paths forward with this project, such as the use of other methods for interpreting the body as a text, consisting of anatomy, physiology, and allegory.

▼ This study of sixty-seven Restoration comedies demonstrates that the ethical system by which the comic playwrights distribute praise and blame to their characters is a contractual one: those characters who learn to respect contract – the social acknowledgment of another's equality and autonomy – are those who win the dramatic prizes, whether money or marriage. Those characters who attempt to subvert or pervert the contractual ethic, whether through ignorance or design, generally defeat their own aims. Critical opinion has not often favored this thesis because it assumes that contract and trust – the latter a quality many critics now see as important in these comedies – are mutually exclusive. But legal history and legal theory show instead that they are mutually dependent, that an act of trust is a priori an act of contract, and the intellectual milieu of the seventeenth century provided the comic playwrights with ample reinforcement for this idea. Two of the three prerequisites for contract, agreement and consideration, take the same definition in comedy as in law. The third, however, constitutes the major difference between contracts in life and contracts in comedy: what the law calls identity or personality. This quality, explicitly defined in law, is less so in comedy, but it must nevertheless be present if we are to recognize any character as a responsible social being. Furthermore, that character must possess, in addition to this requisite identity, the awareness that personal contract – a private, self-enforcing agreement – is both ethically and practically superior to legal or illegal manipulation or force. Once possessed of both identity and a willingness to contract – of both individual and social integrity – that character earns the right to enjoy the emotional and material wealth which so happily rewards those upholding the comedies' moral vision, a moral vision that sees the contractual ethic as a testament to man's respect for and trust in his fellows.

▼ Eighteenth-century novelists borrowed formal features from many earlier genres—journals, travelogues, epic poetry, medieval romance, to name only a few—but perhaps the most influential source that contributed to the novel’s development, drama, has yet to receive the sustained recognition or systematic analysis it deserves. This study contributes to a recent critical discourse that recognizes the considerable formal and thematic overlap between drama and the novel by exploring speech representation and metafiction as two important areas of generic transference. I argue that many dramatic speech forms, particularly asides and soliloquies, and metafictional structures that solicit audience participation, such as prologues, amount to a mediating communication system between dramatist and audience. These conventions appear frequently in Restoration and eighteenth-century plays and were assimilated into the novel by authors who worked in both media, thereby contributing to the novel’s development into a recognizable genre. By examining the plays and novels of Aphra Behn, Henry Fielding, Oliver Goldsmith, and Frances Burney, I identify and analyze dramatic methods of speech representation that early novelists incorporated into their novels, and also consider the ways in which these authors adapted dramatic metafictional devices to initiate conversations with readers. The first chapter investigates the ways in which Aphra Behn dramatically stylized speech through modified prologues that deploy antagonism as a means of reader engagement within her novellas, and recreated the stylistic and thematic functions of a tragic chorus in Oroonoko by using a technique I call mass undifferentiated speech. The second chapter explores the extensive use of metafiction in Restoration drama and argues that two common features of this period’s dramatic metafiction, the rehearsal structure and internal literary criticism, were integrated into early novels, such as Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews. The third chapter demonstrates that Oliver Goldsmith imported speech forms from sentimental comedy into his novel The Vicar of Wakefield as a means of benefiting from sentimentalism’s popularity while critiquing its core values, and argues that his return to Restoration dramaturgy in his play She Stoops to Conquer positions two highly artificial dramatic speech forms, the aside and soliloquy, as ideal vehicles for the expression of authentic emotion. The final chapter argues that Frances Burney attempted to recreate the direct address and proleptic defense characteristic of dramatic prologues in Evelina’s preliminary paratexts, and maintains that much of the novel’s character speech is dramatically presented. It also analyzes Burney’s manuscripts for evidence of her methodological processes, and determines that the qualitative difference between character speech in her novels and plays is likely due to compositional methods. Ultimately, the formal adaptations I identify suggest that highly conventional dramatic techniques were foundational to the… Advisors/Committee Members: Hawes, Clement C (committee member), Westlake, EJ (committee member), Pinch, Adela N (committee member), Porter, David L (committee member).

▼ Structured in the style of a printed play of the period (though with only three acts), this study focuses on the proto-libertine hero in the plays of the restored stage of the 1660s and on the plays from whence he sprang. My goal is to revise the thinking about this figure, to cleanse him, and the times that produced him, of centuries of cultural effluvia by taking all these accumulations into account. He attained the zenith of his cultural career during the 1670s; his best representations, outside of the poems and the lives of noblemen such as the Earl of Rochester, are on the stage. In a sense he represents and embodies the last full flowering of the aristocracy before the commercial classes and their characteristic, Idealistic, Christian-humanist, bourgeois modes of thinking came to dominate English culture and to alternately effeminize and demonize this figure as “the Restoration rake.” His Epicurean Materialism also parallels the rise of experimental science, though his fall does not. I examine his practice and the theory that informs him, his emphasis on inductive, a posteriori reasoning, the fancy-wit that combines sensations and ideas in order to create new conceptions, his notion that desire for largely physical pleasure is humanity’s (and even women’s) primary motivation, and his valuing the freedom to act and think contrary to “official,” moral constraint, often in subversive, playful, and carnivalesque ways. This character’s primary dramatic precursors are featured most prominently in the plays of John Fletcher, the most popular playwright of the seventeenth century, but also in those of James Shirley, Sir John Suckling, and Thomas Killigrew. Playwrights of the 1660s, most prominently John Dryden and George Etherege, but also William Davenant, James Howard, Thomas Shadwell, Sir Charles Sedley, and others, under the encouraging patronage of King Charles II, finding him still callow, led the proto-libertine hero, by the end of the decade, to the cusp of being fully-formed and ready to assume the dominant role he would play in the 1670s with the introduction of cuckolding and the addition of formidable judgment-wit and a broader range to his basic type.

▼ Some of the older actors of the Restoration provided a link between the pre- and post-Commonwealth stages by preserving their craft during the years from 1642 to 1660, despite the harsh and numerous restrictions enacted by the Parliament. Some of the younger players, on the other hand, quickly mastered their art and continued the tradition preserved for them by men such as Charles Hart and Michael Mohun. The greatest actors and actresses of the period certainly influenced the direction of Restoration drama in several ways. Thomas Betterton and Elizabeth Barry were so skilled that on several occasions leading dramatists asked their advice about dialogue, character development, and stage business. Other actors, such as Samuel Sandford and Colley Cibber, developed into great character actors, and the dramatists created roles especially suited to their talents. William Congreve 's admiration for Anne Bracegirdle's talent and beauty perhaps contributed substantially to the creation of the character of Millimant in The Way of the World. Actors such as William Penkethman and Joseph Haines often insured a play's success by their antics on the stage. In addition to the major figures of the period, a substantial number of competent minor actors and actresses mastered the character roles which appear with frequency in much Restoration drama. The Restoration players exerted an influence on both the direction and content of the drama of the period. A better understanding of their performances and personalities could well lead to a better understanding of the drama itself. I have followed the alphabetical listing of the actors and actresses given in Part I of The London Stage, making a few additions where I found them necessary. For the most part, each entry contains information on the player's first and last recorded performances and on his best roles. Whenever possible I have included commentary about his ability. In addition, I have tried to provide data about the character and personality of each player when possible. In some instances I felt that the physical appearance was important and included that information. Much of the information in each entry comes from Restoration and eighteenth century sources. John Downes's Roscius Anglicanus and Thomas Davies' Dramatic Miscellanies were especially valuable, as was John Genest's Some Account of the English Stage. In the twentieth century, the works of John Harold Wilson and Sybil Rosenfeld were very helpful. Finally, the massive scholarship of The London Stage pervades this dissertation. Without that work my task would have been impossible. Advisors/Committee Members: Kirk, Gerald A., Henderson, Sam H., Belcher, William F. (William Francis), 1919-, Lee, James Ward.

▼ This dissertation charts the transformation of the libertine persona into the dramatic rakish character throughout the Seventeenth Century. Existing theories that seek to explain the genealogy of the rakish character are incomplete. For they do not take into account the importance of two major events: the closing of the theaters (1642-1660) and, immediately thereafter, the simultaneous emergence of biographical rakes and rakish literary characters. The importance of lyric poetry becomes more apparent when certain limitations are set aside: assuming that "real-life" rakes inspired the character type, looking for the literary precursors of the rakish character in the dramatic genre alone, and dividing the Seventeenth Century into the Early Seventeenth Century and Restoration. A close examination of libertine lyrics in the first half of the Seventeenth Century reveals that the dramatic nature of the Metaphysical libertine lyrics created by John Donne have a strong connection with Restoration drama. Because he originated the characteristics of Metaphysical poetry that result in poems with unique dramatic intensity, the personae in Donne's libertine lyrics anticipate the later rakish characters not only because they are libertines but also because they are engaged in dynamic seduction scenarios with silent but responsive female counterparts. John Donne's libertine personae correlate to the rakish characters in Restoration drama, including Horner in William Wycherley's The Country Wife (1674), Dorimant in George Etherege's Man of Mode (1676), and Willmore in Aphra Behn's The Rover (1677). Likewise, his libertine lyrics anticipate the active and participatory role of the female counterpart to the rakish character in Restoration drama. John Milton created the bridge between poetry and drama in the Seventeenth Century by transposing the persona onto the stage. In A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle (1634), Milton creates a work that is poised between the two genres and thus a character, namely Comus, that is poised between the libertine persona and the rakish character. The development and transposition of the libertine poetic persona to the dramatic rakish character and type become significant cultural and literary phenomena of the Seventeenth Century.

Das England der Stuart-Restauration und des frühen 18. Jahrhunderts brachte die ersten professionellen Dramatikerinnen hervor. Susanna Centlivre und Mary Davys waren produktive und erfolgreiche Schriftstellerinnen, die sich des Geschmacks ihres Publikums sowie ihrer prekären Situation als Frauen in einer Männergesellschaft gewahr waren. In ihren Theaterstücken perfektionieren sie den Balanceakt zwischen Reform und Komödie. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Interpretation der Parallelen und Unterschiede in den vier Stücken (“The Busie Body“, “The Northern Heiress“, ”The Self-Rival“, “A Gotham Election”), mit dem Hauptaugenmerk auf unkonventionellen Charakteren. Zudem werden Gründe für die Wahrnehmung und Bewertung von Centlivre und Davys auf verschiedenen Niveaus eruiert. Centlivres und Davys’ aktive, willensstarke und unabhängige „virtuous heroines“ (i.e. tugendhafte Heldinnen) verkörpern das Frauenbild ihrer Schöpferinnen und nehmen in den Stücken zentrale Rollen ein. Im Gegensatz zu den altmodischen, eindimensionalen Typen sind ihre unkonventionellen Figuren facettenreicher und komplexer. Speziell ihre sozial nieder gestellten Figuren, die für gewöhnlich Zielscheiben von Spott und Hohn sind, werden mit mehr Menschlichkeit und Toleranz und weniger Boshaftigkeit behandelt, als bei vielen männlichen Dramatikern. Mit ihren sozialkritischen Vorstellungen waren die Dramatikerinnen ihrer Zeit weit voraus, sie vermochten den Status der Frau nur auf der Bühne zu heben, auf das wahre Leben hatten sie jedoch keinen Einfluss. Die Analyse der Stücke lieferte keine große Unterstützung für Centlivres Vormachtstellung als die Dramatikerin des frühen achtzehnten Jahrhunderts. Beide Schriftstellerinnen brachten einfallsreiche, lustige und unterhaltsame Komödien hervor. Ihre Wertschätzung liegt im Auge des Betrachters und ist wohl eher eine Frage persönlichen Geschmacks als literarischen Könnens.

Restoration and early eighteenth-century England saw the emergence of the first professional female playwrights. Susanna Centlivre and Mary Davys were both prolific and successful women writers. They knew the audience’s taste and were aware of their precarious position as female dramatists. In contrast to many of their male counterparts, they efficiently performed the balancing act between reform and comedy. This thesis analyses parallels and differences in the four plays (“The Busie Body“, “The Northern Heiress“, ”The Self-Rival“, “A Gotham Election”) with the main focus of attention on unconventional characters, in order to establish reasons for the evaluation of Centlivre and Davys on unequal levels, i.e. as a minor and a major playwright. Centlivre’s and Davys’ active, strong-willed, and independent virtuous heroines assume pivotal roles and articulate their creators’ social commentary. In contrast to the old-fashioned, one-dimensional stock characters, their unconventional major and minor characters are multifaceted. Especially socially inferior characters, who are usually prone to ridicule and mocking, are treated with…

▼ Until recent years, the historical moment of Charles II's return to England was universally accepted as a clear marker of the end of "the Cavalier winter," a welcome victory over theater-hating Puritans. To verify this historical view, literary historians have often glorified the role of King Charles II in the history of the "revival" of drama during the Restoration, whereas they tend to consider the Long Parliament's 1642 closing of the theaters as a decisive manifestation of Puritans' antitheatricalism. This historical perspective based upon what is often known as "the rupture model" has obscured the vibrant development of dramatic forms during the English civil wars and the ways in which the revolutionary energy exploded during this period continued to influence in the Restoration the deployment of dramatic forms and imagination across various social groups. By focusing on the generic development of drama and theatricality during the English civil wars, my dissertation challenges the conventional historiography of the English civil war literature, which has been overemphasizing the discontinuity between the English civil war and the periods before and after it. The first chapter shows how the theatrical energy displaced from traditional cultural domains energized an emerging cheap print market and contributed to the invention of new dramatic forms such as playlets and newsbooks. The second chapter questions the conventional association of Puritanism and antitheatricalism by rehistoricizing antitheatrical writers and their pamphlets and by highlighting the dramatic impulses at work in Puritan iconoclasm during the English civil wars. The final chapter offers the Restoration Milton as a case study to illustrate how the proposed historical perspective replacing "the rupture model" better explains not only the politics of Milton's Paradise Lost but also of Restoration drama.

▼ My dissertation analyzes the rake, the libertine male, a figure whose liminal masculinity and transgressive appetites work both to stabilize and unsettle hegemony in the texts in which he appears. The rake may seem no more than a sexy bad boy, unconnected to wider social, political, and economic concerns. However, my project reveals his central role in reflecting, even shaping, anxieties and desires regarding gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity. I chart the rake's progress from his origins in the Restoration era to the early twenty-first century. Chapter II examines William Wycherley's comedy The Country Wife in concert with John Dryden's Marriage à la Mode and Aphra Behn's The Rover to analyze the rake's emergence in seventeenth-century theatre and show that his transgression of borders real and figurative plays out the anxieties and aspirations of an emerging British empire. Chapter III uses John Gay's ballad opera The Beggar's Opera, a satiric interrogation of consumerism and criminality, to chart the rake in eighteenth-century British theatre as Britain's investment in global capitalism and imperialism increased. My discussion of Opera is framed by Richard Steele's early-century sentimental comedy The Conscious Lovers and Hannah Cowley's late-century The Belle's Stratagem, a fusion of sentiment and wit. Chapter IV hinges the project's theatre and film sections, analyzing Oscar Wilde's fin-de-siècle comedy The Importance of Being Earnest as a culmination of generations of theatre rakes and an anticipation of the film rakes of the modern and post-modern eras. Dion Boucicault's mid-century London Assurance is used to set up Wilde's queering of the rake figure Chapter V brings the rake to a new medium, film, and a new nation, the United States, as the figure catalyzes American tension over race and gender in early twentieth-century films such as Cecil B. DeMille's The Cheat, George Melford's The Sheik, and Ernest Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise. My final chapter reads contemporary films, including Jenniphr Goodman's The Tao of Steve, Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz's About a Boy, and Gore Verbinski's trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean for Disney Studios, to assess the ways in which millennial western masculinity is in stasis.
