1 ene 1698 año - Jeremy Collier published his
Short View of the Immorality
and Profaneness of the English Stage
Descripción:
- attacked playwrights like William Wycherley, John Dryden, William Congreve, John Vanbrugh, and Thomas D’Urfey
- accuses the playwrights of profanity, blasphemy, indecency, and undermining public morality through the sympathetic depiction of vice
- provided exhaustively close readings, which revolutionised his writing - previously (like William Prynne) it had just been a long nondescript diatribe, whereas now he could implicate the entirety of the Restoration stage
