Book Description
"Goldoni and the Venice of His Time" is a biography of Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni, who lived from 1707 until 1793. Joseph Spencer Kennard's work is a detailed examination of Goldoni's life and work. Carlo Goldoni is the author of many classic Italian plays, some of which remain popular to this day; the play "Servant of Two Master" is perhaps his best known work. Author Joseph Kennard opens his biography of Goldoni with a chronological summary of the writer's life. From there, the book launches into a detailed discussion of all aspects of Carlos Goldoni's life, which has been broken down into chapters representing distinct time periods. Goldoni's childhood is detailed, as are his most prolific years as a playwright, with the concluding chapter ultimately dealing with Goldoni's death. Goldoni's biography is only one part of Kennard's book, and is in fact devoted less space than the author's examination of the works of the great playwright. Kennard provides a detailed breakdown, including plot summaries, details of the writing process, notes on critical reception, and behind the scenes gossip, of many of Goldoni's greatest works. For true fans of Carlo Goldoni, it is this section of the book that will be most appealing. As a detailed biography and a throughout examination of a man's work, Kennard's book "Goldoni and the Venice of His Time" is a great success. Anybody interested in the work of Carlo Goldoni, or a history of Italian theatre, will find this to be a fascinating read.

Book Description
Excerpt from Goldoni on Playwriting Being simply a naturalist, he had no avowed purpose, such as Moliere's, to correct the vices of his time; his ambition being merely not to spoil nature. Yet he spoiled it whenever he transplanted some exotic story to the soil of his native Italy; since only when he painted the life of Venice, was he Gran Goldoni, the tribune of her people.
