“Reason, Nature, Art, and Wit” in Buckingham's Enduring Rehearsal
Original language description
George Villiers, second Duke of Buckingham (1628-87), played various roles on the Restoration stage.He was a prominent courtier of Charles II, a powerful politician in the Cabal ministry, a consistent supporterof religious toleration, and a literary figure. An integral member of the king's "merry gang" of court wits,the duke presided over his own intellectual circle, which included John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester.While much of the narrative surrounding Buckingham fixates on the notorious episodes of his life, suchas his cohabitation with Lady Shrewsbury, whose husband he fatally wounded in a duel, many of thesestories are exaggerations or half-truths. Beneath the public scandal lies a frequently overlooked fact:Buckingham-"Pope's 'Great Villiers,' Dryden's 'Zimri,' Butler's 'Duke of Bucks,' and Mulgrave's 'Merriestman alive'" (Love 366)-was much more than the sum of his sensationalized experiences.The paper pays tribute to the duke's once immensely popular burlesque play The Rehearsal, aiming toglean insights into its author's personality. Through the prism of his farce, Buckingham emerges as a manof discerning taste, a skilled playwright, and a refined arbiter of literary art whose critiques are marked bywit and elegance. A testament to the duke's creativity and originality, The Rehearsal warrants a modernrevival to allow present-day audiences to rediscover its brilliance and celebrate Buckingham as a versatilegrandee with a touch of literary genius.
