ABSTRACT:
A 5 page research paper/essay. Beginning in 1642 and for the next eighteen years, the theaters of England were officially closed under the restrictions of Puritan rule (Restoration Drama). There were, of course, evasions of the law, but whatever performances were given were held in secret in private homes. In 1660, the Stuart dynasty was restored and the theaters were opened. This examination of Restoration and eighteenth century theatre focuses on how the works of Elizabethan playwright Ben Jonson, specifically focusing on his comedies, continued to influence the playwrights. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
