John Gay

    30. Juni 1685 – 4. Dezember 1732

    John Gay war ein englischer Dichter und Dramatiker, dessen Werk für seinen unverwechselbaren Stil und seine aufschlussreichen Gesellschaftskommentare in Erinnerung bleibt. Er wird vor allem für seine satirischen Theaterstücke und Gedichte gefeiert, die das zeitgenössische englische Leben oft humorvoll und scharf ironisierten. Gay war darin meisterhaft, unvergessliche Charaktere und Situationen zu schaffen, die über Jahrhunderte hinweg bei den Lesern Anklang finden. Seine einzigartige literarische Stimme und seine Beherrschung der Balladenspielform machen ihn zu einer bedeutenden Figur der englischen Literatur.

      With The Beggar's Opera (1728), Gay invented the ballad opera. It is here published for the first time with its sequel, Polly, in which Macheath and Polly Peachum are transplanted to the West Indies. Together the plays offer a scathing and ebullient portrait of a society in which statesmen and outlaws are impossible to tell apart.
