Their subtle dramatic techniques are examined in relation to physical features of the eighteenth-century stage. A chapter on sentimental comedy relates to plays such as Hugh Kelly's \u003ci\u003eFalse Delicacy\u003c\/i\u003e to the balance of irony and sentiment in Goldsmith's \u003ci\u003eThe Good Natur'd Man\u003c\/i\u003e and Sheridan's \u003ci\u003eA Trip to Scarborough\u003c\/i\u003e. The continuing freshness of the comedy of mistakes, masks and Harlequin-like role playing which the two playwrights draw from the operatic and theatrical conventions of their day is illustrated from modern productions. These have helped to illuminate the psychological truth and social awareness underlying the sparkling surfaces of Sheridan's and Goldsmith's classic comedies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48105495036116,"sku":"TVJ-024304","price":9.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-024304-1.jpeg?v=1781524720","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/sheridan-goldsmith-by-katharine-worth","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
