“Restoration Drama”是“复辟时期的戏剧”之意。

“Restoration”本意是“恢复、复原”,这里指英国历史上的一段时期,即王政复辟时期(1660年到1688年)。1660年,克伦威尔执政的共和时期结束,查理二世重登王位,英格兰君主复辟。查理二世在国会中恢复设置主教,建立严格的英国国教式政权。

复辟时期也包括之后詹姆斯二世时代,以扩大殖民地贸易为特征,并发生英荷战争,英国的戏剧与文学也重新复兴。

查理二世复辟后,被清教徒关闭的剧院重新开放,英国戏剧获得新生。这一时期出现的风俗喜剧是当时戏剧的最高成就,威廉·康格里夫(William Congreve, 1670-1729)的《以爱还爱》(Love for Love)、《如此世道》(The Way of the World)等剧作是风俗喜剧的代表作品。

风俗喜剧是喜剧的一种,它描绘并且讽刺上流社会的风俗习惯和道德准则。复辟时期的英国上流社会是英国风俗喜剧的讽刺对象。复辟时期英国风俗喜剧的主要精神是讽刺的、批判的,具有严肃的道德目的,它大多写上流社会两性之间的关系,以讽刺、谴责贪婪、虚伪、纵欲、诽谤、陷害等社会罪恶和陋习。

复辟时期戏剧的代表人物:威廉·康格里夫

威廉·康格里夫(William Congreve,1670-1729年),英国剧作家。他的喜剧以活泼生动和对话高雅为特色,对角色(特别是一些次要人物)的刻画细致入微且多彩多姿。他的情节主要围绕错综复杂和令人反感的风流韵事展开,真实性不强,构思不够巧妙。

康格里夫的杰作《如此世道》写上流社会一对有才华的青年男女相爱成婚的故事,剧中有一场专门写他们两人谈判结婚条件,并且讨论婚后如何互相尊重、互相体谅,以保证美满、幸福的家庭生活。

康格里夫并不采取直接说教的方式来教育观众,而是通过复杂的故事情节,塑造才华横溢的青年男女,并以高度机智、幽默的对话来达到他推崇严肃的道德目的:医治社会的疾病,建立人和人(尤其是两性)之间的真诚、友善的关系,改造人的社会行为。

康格里夫的喜剧语言达到了文雅、细致、锋利、流畅、精确、含蓄的完美境地。19世纪英国批评家哈兹里特写道:“康格里夫喜剧中的每一句话都充满了意义和讽刺,用最典雅、最尖锐的词语表达出来。”19世纪末英国小说家梅瑞狄斯认为康格里夫足可和莫里哀相对起舞,树立喜剧创作的典范。
