Sinopse

Susanna Centlivre's play, 'The Perjur'd Husband; or, The Adventures of Venice. A Tragedy,' is a remarkable piece of work that showcases her talent for crafting complex characters and engaging plots. Set in Venice, the play explores themes of betrayal, honor, and redemption in a dramatic and captivating manner. Centlivre's writing style is characterized by sharp dialogue, vivid imagery, and intricate subplots that come together to create a compelling narrative. Her use of language and imagery reflects the literary trends of the Restoration period, making this play both a product of its time and a timeless classic. Centlivre's ability to intertwine comedy and tragedy in a seamless manner sets her apart as a talented playwright. Susanna Centlivre, a successful actress and playwright in the early 18th century, drew inspiration from her own experiences in the theatrical world to create this gripping tragedy. Her keen insight into human nature and her deep understanding of the complexities of relationships are evident throughout the play. I highly recommend 'The Perjur'd Husband' to readers who appreciate a well-written, thought-provoking drama that delves into the intricacies of human emotions and actions.

    Sargent was born in Florence, in 1856, the son of cultivated parents. When Sargent entered the school of Carolus-Duran he attained much more than the average pupils. His father was a retired Massachusetts gentleman, having practised medicine in Philadelphia. Sargent’s home life was penetrated with refinement, and outside it were the beautiful influences of Florence, combining the charms of sky and hills with the wonders of art in the galleries and the opportunities of an intellectual and artistic society. Accordingly, when Sargent arrived in Paris, he was not only a skilful draughtsman and painter as a result of his study of the Italian masters, but he also had a refined and cultivated taste, which perhaps had an even greater influence upon his career. Later in Spain, it was chiefly upon the lessons learned from Velázquez that he found his own brilliant method.
    Sargent belongs to America, but is claimed by others as a citizen of the world, or a cosmopolitan. Sargent, with the exception of a few months at distant intervals, spent his life abroad. The artistic influences which affected him were those of Europe. Yet his Americanism may be detected in his extraordinary facility to absorb impressions, in the individuality he evolved, and in the subtlety and reserve of his methods – qualities that are characteristic of the best American art.
