Autorenporträt
George Farquhar (1677-1707) was an Irish dramatist known for his witty comedies and sharp social commentary, encapsulated prominently within his celebrated work, 'The Beaux-Stratagem.' Born in Londonderry, Farquhar demonstrated a bright intelligence from early age, leading him to attend Trinity College in Dublin. However, his academic pursuits were swiftly replaced with a growing passion for the theatrical world, subsequently leading him towards a brief acting career, which ended after accidentally wounding a fellow actor on stage (Dobson, 1982). Transitioning to playwriting, he found his true calling and permanent respite in the London theater scene. Farquhar's plays often delved into the incongruities of social manners and class distinctions. His first success came with the comedy 'Love and a Bottle'(1698), marking his unique blend of farce and melancholy. 'The Beaux-Stratagem' (1707), considered his masterpiece, was penned during the final year of his life and exhibits the characteristic Farquharian blend of humor, clever plotting, and humane insight. The play critiques the institution of marriage and the duplicity of social appearances, subjects which resonated with audiences of the Restoration and continue to charm modern readers (Hume, 1976). Farquhar's literary style, often brimming with lively dialogue and satirical edge, has led to him being recognized alongside greats such as Congreve and Wycherley in the pantheon of Restoration comedy playwrights. He died young at thirty, leaving behind a legacy that would influence comedy long past the Restoration era.
