Abstract:
Restoration theatre theory, polemic, and practice are closely concerned with questions of value, although they have received little attention in recent criticism that considers the formation of the English canon up to and during the eighteenth century. The main issue addressed concerns the legitimacy of dramatic form, which dominates the metatheatre of 1668–75, but also appears unexpectedly in the political drama (especially the comedy) of the early 1660s and the antitheatrical rhetoric of the 1690s. In all these instances, the complexity, integrity, and completeness of drama-in-performance are seen to determine the value of plays as well as playwriting. While the attack on heroic drama in metatheatrical plays such as Shadwell's The Sullen Lovers (1668) and Buckingham's The Rehearsal (1671) is directed by authors of one persuasion against another, Thomas Duffett's burlesque attack on the theatre of spectacle in the 1670s paradoxically is reinforced by the self-criticism of his targets. Moreover, Jeremy Collier's antitheatrical offensive in the late 1690s shows an atypical concern with specific dramatic content, especially in comedy, suggesting that both metatheatre and antitheatre in the Restoration focus their oppositional energies on the particulars of genre.

Anderson, Haley D. "Female Agency in Restoration and Nineteenth-Century Drama." Scholar Commons, 2010. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/1560.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines issues of female agency in the plays The Rover and The Widow Ranter by Aphra Behn, Mrs. Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw, and Votes for Women! by Elizabeth Robins. The heroines of each of these plays work toward gaining agency for themselves, and in order to achieve this goal, they often stray from cultural norms of femininity and encroach on the masculine world. This thesis postulates that agency for women becomes a fluid notion, not statically defined. These plays show a fluctuating and evolving sense of feminine agency.

Saab, H. "Restoration Orientalism : the representation of the Turk in serious drama." Thesis, Swansea University, 1999. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.638734.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the complex representation of the Orient, the Turk in particular, in Restoration serious drama, as embodying new English attitudes and perceptions of the "Other". This study builds both on "conventional" notions established by Renaissance discourses on the Orient and on assumptions, identifying polar characteristics of East and West, described in Said's Orientalism. I argue that "otherness" was gradually undermined in Restoration drama, in which the Turk ceased to be represented as the diabolic Other. The first chapter defines my theoretical approach which is largely informed by the study of historical contexts: the dynamic military, religious, political, and economic encounters between Europe and the Levant. I thus offer a quick review of occurrences of the generally stereotyped Turk depicted in Renaissance literature. In the second chapter I throw light on the Ottoman decline during the seventeenth century and its effect on English attitudes towards the Turk in Restoration literature. The increasing diplomatic and commercial relations are found to have contributed to the emerging familiarity of the Other. The third chapter explores the dominant theatrical form in the Restoration, the heroic genre, which is closely associated with the exotic and provides a novel representation of the Oriental world. Chapter four focuses on Davenant's pioneering heroic play, The Siege of Rhodes (1656 and 1661), and its ambivalent, dual representation of the Turk as both Other and similar. Chapters five and six are devoted to the discussion of other Oriental heroic plays, such as Roger Boyle's Mustapha (1665) and Mary Pix's Ibrahim (1696), which combine conventional and heroic tropes in their representational modes. Finally, Chapter seven is concerned with a group of plays mainly representing the Orient as humanised and similar to the European and hence symbolising a completed stage in, what I argue, is a process of cultural assimilation.

Abstract:
Presented here is a method for automatic punctuation restoration in Swedish using a BERT model. The method is based on KB-BERT, a publicly available, neural network language model pre-trained on a Swedish corpus by National Library of Sweden. This model has then been fine-tuned for this specific task using a corpus of government texts. With a lower-case and unpunctuated Swedish text as input, the model is supposed to return a grammatically correct punctuated copy of the text as output. A successful solution to this problem brings benefits for an array of NLP domains, such as speech-to-text and automated text. Only the punctuation marks period, comma and question marks were considered for the project, due to a lack of data for more rare marks such as semicolon. Additionally, some marks are somewhat interchangeable with the more common, such as exclamation points and periods. Thus, the data set had all exclamation points replaced with periods. The fine-tuned Swedish BERT model, dubbed prestoBERT, achieved an overall F1-score of 78.9. The proposed model scored similarly to international counterparts, with Hungarian and Chinese models obtaining F1-scores of 82.2 and 75.6 respectively. As further comparison, a human evaluation case study was carried out. The human test group achieved an overall F1-score of 81.7, but scored substantially worse than prestoBERT on both period and comma. Inspecting output sentences from the model and humans show satisfactory results, despite the difference in F1-score. The disconnect seems to stem from an unnecessary focus on replicating the exact same punctuation used in the test set, rather than providing any of the number of correct interpretations. If the loss function could be rewritten to reward all grammatically correct outputs, rather than only the one original example, the performance could improve significantly for both prestoBERT and the human group.
Här presenteras en metod för automatisk återinföring av skiljetecken på svenska med hjälp av ett neuralt nätverk i formen av en BERT-modell. Metoden bygger på KB-BERT, en allmänt tillgänglig språkmodell, tränad på ett svensk korpus, av Kungliga Biblioteket. Denna modell har sedan finjusterats för den här specifika uppgiften med hjälp av ett korpus av offentliga texter från landsting och dylikt. Med svensk text utan versaler och skiljetecken som inmatning, ska modellen returnera en kopia av texten där korrekta skiljetecken har placerats ut på rätta platser. En framgångsrik modell ger fördelar för en rad domäner inom neurolingvistisk programmering, såsom tal- till- texttranskription och automatiserad textgenerering. Endast skiljetecknen punkt, kommatecken och frågetecken tas i beaktande i projektet på grund av en brist på data för de mer sällsynta skiljetecknen såsom semikolon. Dessutom är vissa skiljetecken någorlunda utbytbara mot de vanligaste tre, såsom utropstecken mot punkt. Således har datasetets alla utropstecken ersatts med punkter. Den finjusterade svenska BERT-modellen, kallad prestoBERT, fick en övergripande F1-poäng på 78,9. De internationella motsvarande modellerna för ungerska och kinesiska fick en övergripande F1-poäng på 82,2 respektive 75,6. Det tyder på att prestoBERT är på en liknande nivå som toppmoderna motsvarigheter. Som ytterligare jämförelse genomfördes en fallstudie med mänsklig utvärdering. Testgruppen uppnådde en övergripande F1-poäng på 81,7, men presterade betydligt sämre än prestoBERT på både punkt och kommatecken. Inspektion av utdata från modellen och människorna visar tillfredsställande resultat från båda, trots skillnaden i F1-poäng. Skillnaden verkar härstamma från ett onödigt fokus på att replikera exakt samma skiljetecken som används i indatan, snarare än att återge någon av de många korrekta tolkningar som ofta finns. Om loss-funktionen kunde skrivas om för att belöna all grammatiskt korrekt utdata, snarare än bara originalexemplet, skulle prestandan kunna förbättras avsevärt för både prestoBERT såväl som den mänskliga gruppen.

Abstract:
This dissertation’s aim is to reveal how essential economic mechanics were to playwrights when it came to depicting agency. Rising commercialization in the seventeenth century prompted playwrights to appropriate market behaviors in London as a new discourse for agency. Commerce serves as a metaphor for every part of daily life, and a new kind of “commercial” agency evolves that predicates autonomy upon the exchange networks in which a person participates. Initially, this new agency appears as a variation on the trickster. By the end of the century, playwrights have created a new model for autonomy and a new kind of hero to employ it: the entrepreneur. My chapters chart the defining points in the development of commercial agency, each with a representative text or texts. In chapter II, I analyze how the Jacobean gallant, a variation on the trickster, sells himself as a desirable commodity to gain wealth and influence, the conditions he needs to liberate himself and control his own destiny (Eastward Ho). Chapter III examines characterizations of businesswomen in seventeenth century drama, one of the primary shifts in tone that accompanied the development of commercial agency as playwrights became more skilled in its portrayal (Antony and Cleopatra). Frequently regarded as prostitutes in Elizabethan plays, entrepreneurial women are often seen in later periods as dramatic, even tragic, heroes. When the stage closed during the years of 1642-1659, the print market was playwrights’ main source of income, and it was soon adapted to promote drama and ensure its future production. Chapter IV suggests that the success of William Davenant’s The Siege of Rhodes was due to how its preface implicated customers of the print edition in its stage production. Chapter V marks the emergence of the entrepreneurial rake as a romantic and comic hero. The chapter argues that the egalitarian haggling that ends The Man of Mode and The Rover, which is conspicuously absent from The Country Wife, is presented as the ideal basis for any loving, successful, and profitable marriage.
