Purchase Plays by William Congreve CONGREVE, WILLIAM The Old Bachelor , under the generous auspices of Dryden , then as ever a living and immortal witness to the falsehood of the vulgar charges which taxes the greater among poets with jealousy or envy, the natural badge and brand of the smallest that would claim a place among their kind. The dis-crowned laureate had never, he said, seen such a first play; and indeed the graceless grace of the dialogue was as yet only to by matched by the last and best work of Etherege , standing as till then it had done alone among the barefaced brutalities of Wycherley and Shadwell. The types of Congreve's first work were the common conventional properties of stage tradition; but the fine and clear-cut style in which these types were reproduced was his own. The gift of one place and the reversion of another were the solid fruits of his splendid success. Next year a better play from the same hand met with a worse fortune on the stage, and with yet higher honour from the first living poet of his nation. The noble verses, as faultless in the expression as reckless in the extravagance of their applause, prefixed by Dryden to The Double Dealer , must naturally have supported the younger poet, if indeed such support can have been required, against the momentary annoyance of assailants whose passing clamour left uninjured and secure the fame of his second comedy; for the following year witnessed the crowning triumph of his art and life, in the appearance of

HISTORY OF ROCKETRY A B C ... CONTACT entire Web this site An artillery colonel in the British army whose interest in rocketry was stimulated by the success of Indian rocket barrages against the British in 1792 and again in 1799 at Seringapatam (see Tipu Sultan ). Congreve's black powder rockets proved highly effective in battle. Used by British ships to pound Fort McHenry, they inspired Francis Scott Key to write of "the rockets' red glare" in a poem that later provided the words to The Star-Spangled Banner. Congreve's rockets were used in the Napoleonic Wars and in the War of 1812. Congreve was the son of William Congreve, Comptroller of the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich. Young Congreve passed through the Royal Academy at Woolwich. Following the military success of his rockets, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and returned to parliament in 1812. Two years later he succeeded to the baronetcy and his father's place. Reference Winter, Frank H.

William Congreve Born on January 24, 1670, William Congreve was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and the Middle Temple where he studied law. His literary apprenticeship was served under the tutelage of John Dryden, the leading playwright of the day. Congreve's first play, The Old Bachelor (1693) was an enormous success when it was produced at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Dryden wrote that he had never read so brilliant a first play. Congreve's next effort, however, was not so successful. The Double-Dealer (1693) revolves around a socialite who deceives everyone with the simple device of telling the plain truth. Although most modern critics consider The Double-Dealer an improvement over Congreve's first play, it was snubbed by critics and audiences alike. Congreve was irritated by what he perceived as the obtuseness of the public. Love for Love (1695) returned Congreve temporarily to the public favor, and his reputation improved still further with the production of his only tragedy, The Mourning Bride , in 1697. But Congreve's masterpiece was still to come.
