Description

The Historical Register for the Year 1736 and Eurydice Hissed are two of Henry Fielding's satirical dramas. A mixture of several plots, each play extensively satirizes British politicians. Fielding's writing for the theater was a major factor in bringing about the Licensing Act of 1737. Subjecting the social attitudes and political manipulations to criticism, his plays effectively ended Fielding's career as a dramatist and placed the theatre under strict governmental control. Filled with a ìhumming deal of satire,î the play is a reflection of the society and politics of its era.
