Автор жөнүндө
W. S. Gilbert, born Sir William Schwenck Gilbert on November 18, 1836, was an illustrious English dramatist, librettist, poet, and illustrator. His fame largely rests on his collaboration with composer Arthur Sullivan, with whom he created fourteen comic operas. Gilbert's sharp wit and masterful use of the English language were matched by Sullivan's melodious compositions, leading to works that have staunchly endured in popularity. Gilbert's 'Original Plays, Second Series' is a testament to his prolific writing and his capability to satirise the foibles of Victorian society. This collection showcases Gilbert's unique literary style that combines fantastical plots, patter songs, and a novel sync between lyrics and stage action. His plays often included elements of farce, parody, and a distinct nonsensical humor that became a trademark of the 'Gilbertian' style. Gilbert's contribution to theatre extended to innovations in stage direction, and he has been credited with bringing a new level of respectability to the art of theatrical production in the 19th century. His work has not only entertained audiences but has also had a profound influence on the development of musical theatre. Gilbert was knighted in 1907, an acknowledgment of his significant impact on English literature and the performing arts. He died on May 29, 1911, but his works, including those featured in 'Original Plays, Second Series,' continue to be celebrated and performed around the world.
