Abstract

The writer has purposed in this essay to trace the rise, development, arid evolution of the comedy. of sensibility, from about the year 1700 to 1177. The movement was one, intricated with not a few interwoven trends. The fusion of sentimentalism into the comedy through social, moral, philosophic, literary, and historical factors has, in part, accounted for the intricacy of the genre, known as the comedy of sensibility. Few authors have considered it worth while to devote much time to the amassed dramatic productions of the eighteenth century. Thus, the complexity ·of the problem is increased.
