Résumé

In 'The Perjur'd Husband; or, The Adventures of Venice, ' Susanna Centlivre intertwines a gripping narrative of betrayal and redemption set against the backdrop of Venice's alluring yet treacherous landscape. This tragedy, characterized by its rich language and sharp dialogue, reflects the early 18th-century theatrical tradition that embraced both comedy and serious themes. Centlivre deftly critiques the institution of marriage while shedding light on the societal expectations placed upon women, employing a combination of wit and poignant drama that captivates the audience's attention and engages their moral sensibilities.
Centlivre, a prominent figure of her time, was known for her pioneering contributions to women's theater. Her lived experiences as a wife, playwright, and mother likely influenced her portrayal of the complexities of marital fidelity and the struggles for personal agency in restrictive societal norms. As one of the few successful female playwrights during the Restoration era, Centlivre's work reflects her unique perspective on gender dynamics and her commitment to challenging contemporary conventions.
This compelling tragedy is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of early modern drama. Centlivre's adept storytelling and the intricate emotional landscape invite readers to consider the enduring themes of trust, love, and vengeance. 'The Perjur'd Husband' remains a powerful exploration of human relationships, making it an essential addition to the study of gender and theater in the early 18th century.
