The Growth of English Drama is a historical account of the development of English theatre from its earliest origins to the early 20th century. Written by Arnold Wynne and originally published in 1914, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of English drama, tracing its roots back to the medieval mystery plays and following its progress through the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, the Restoration period, and the rise of melodrama and realism in the 19th century.Wynne's analysis is both informative and engaging, providing readers with a detailed understanding of the social, political, and cultural factors that influenced the evolution of English theatre over time. He explores the work of key playwrights such as William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and George Bernard Shaw, as well as the contributions of lesser-known figures who played important roles in the development of the art form.Throughout the book, Wynne draws on a wide range of sources, including contemporary accounts, critical analyses, and historical documents, to provide a nuanced and insightful perspective on the growth of English drama. He also includes numerous excerpts from plays and other dramatic works, offering readers a taste of the rich and varied theatrical traditions that have shaped English culture over the centuries.Overall, The Growth of English Drama is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of theatre, providing a detailed and engaging account of the evolution of one of the world's most enduring and influential art forms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
