Hamlet remained a focal point of reference until about 1960, when it was displaced by King Lear, a play which at the same time ceased to be perceived as a play of redemption and became a play of despair. Foakes attempts to explain these shifts by analysing the reception of the plays since about 1800, an analysis which neces…

  • Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Poetry 1660-1780

    Richard Eversole, Eric Rothstein et al.ARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies1983Cited by: 2

    Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Poetry 1660-1780, originally published in 1981, considers poetry written between 1660 and 1780, a period which, although largely recovered from its nineteenth-century reputation, still attracts widely varying critical responses. Abandoning the old labels such as 'neoclassicism', 'romanticism' and 'sensibility', the author focuses on descriptions of genres and their formal elements and traces the broader patterns…
