Presentation transcript:

Amatory Fiction Came from France a)Heroic romance: men commit heroic deeds, ladies forever faithful b)Predecessors of romance novel: innocent women as victims of lustful men c)Cronique scanadaleuse/Roman à clef: about contemporary scandals

Aphra Behn‘s prose Love-Letters between a Nobleman to his Sister (1684): about a contemporary scandal; combines themes of love and politics The Fair Jilt (1688) Oroonoko (1688): combines genre of heroic romance with travel narrative, adventure story, report about slavery, etc.

Turn of the century drama From heroic drama to pathetic/affective tragedy: heroes from lower rank; decide for love not duty; basically innocent; women as victims (she tragedies), written in blank verse; wanted to move audience to tears From comedy of manners to reformed comedy (later: sentimental comedy): values goodness of heart rather than wit; rake reforms; sexual innuendo avoided. 1698: Jeremy Collier: A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage

The Female Wits Delarivier Manley: plays, e.g. The Royal Mischief Romans à clef: The New Atalantis Catherine Trotter: Plays, e.g. The Fatal Friendship Philosophical writings Mary Pix: Plays, e.g. The Deceiver Deceived
