A very good copy. The Critic was first performed 30 October 1779; the first edition was issued in 1781 this the fourth edition was issued later in the same year. The Prologue is by Richard Fitzpatrick. Another huge success for the celebrated dramatist The Critic is ".an exuberant burlesque on the problems of producing a play. The work under rehearsal by its distraught producer is 'The Spanish Armada' a ludicrous parody of the modish tragic drama of the day. The action of the main play continues with undiminished vivacity to the end" OCEL. Playwright producer and theater manager and owner Richard Brinsley Sheridan 1751-1816 made his reputation as a dramaturge in 1775 with The Rivals. Success followed success celebrity ensued and soon Sheridan bought out actor playwright and impresario David Garrick's share in the Drury Lane Theatre and became its manager. The fabulous success of his School For Scandal gave him the wherewithal to become the sole proprietor of the Drury Lane Theatre in 1779. He was considered the true heir of Garrick the most respected and celebrated theatrical personage of his age and later became a MP. The Cunning-Man is Charles Burney's translation and adaptation of the libretto and songs to Rousseau's pastoral opera Le Devin du Village The Village Soothsayer. 1752. "As with many French operas Rousseau's Le devin du village was first staged for the court appearing at Fountainebleau on 18 October 1752. The work was then performed at the Paris Op�ra on 1 March 1753. The historical importance of this short interm� is closely tied to its role in the famous Querelle de bouffons a debate about the merits of French serious opera in comparison to Italian comic opera especially Pergolesi's La serva padrona. "Rousseau applied the principles of Italian buffo style to Le devin showing a preference for simple melodies in his airs and although the subject matter is typical of comic opera's interest in paysannerie see Gr�try's Le Huron the use of recitative explains why Le devin appeared at the Op�ra. "Le devin's popularity is evident in that it was parodied by the Com�die-Italienne and later arranged in English by Charles Burney. However Rousseau's outspoken nature caused problems for him at the Op�ra when he wrote an indictment against French opera titled Lettre sur la musique fran�aise late in 1753. While Rousseau was no longer welcome at the Op�ra Le devin continued to be performed until the early nineteenth century. Berlioz famously criticized the work though and argued that Rameau's music was far superior to Rousseau's diminutive interm�" University of North Texas Libraries. The opera became one of the most popular of its day and brought Rousseau both wealth and fame. "Dr. Charles Burney 1726-1814 organist musical historian and minor composer was the friend of Garrick Joshua Reynolds Dr. Johnson and many members of aristocrat and literary society. He was the father of novelist Fanny Burney" OCEL. The Critic: Cf. CBEL II 819. Cf. Rothschild 1846. Cf. Williams p.222. The Cunning-Man: S�nelier 225. Dufour 48.
