PRENTICE/HALL

This is the first in-depth study of a female audience that shows how and why women went to the theater in Restoration England. Robert challenges the assumption that a "ladies' faction" played an important part in encouraging the playhouses to present a more moral, less bawdy or "satirical" style of comedy, thus changing the course of English drama. He shows that there is no evidence of this faction, and that "sentimental" comedies really did cater to the interest of their female audience by incorporating the fashionable concern for women's rights. Drawing on many sources, including the life of Elizabeth Pepys, the book investigates just who these "ladies" were, what determined their theater-going, how often they went, what they liked and did in the theater, and the role of patronage at the court of three Restoration queens.

Mae'r gyfrol hon yn ymwneud ag un o sefydliadau addysg uwch pwysicaf Cymru, yn cwmpasu ei hanes o'i greu ym 1884 fel Coleg Prifysgol Gogledd Cymru, ei ymgnawdoliad fel Prifysgol Cymru, Bangor a'i ben-blwydd yn 125 oed yn 2009. Mae'r gyfrol yn olrhain gwreiddiau'r sefydliad fel tafarn y goets fawr yn y ddeunawfed ganrif gyda 58 o fyfyrwyr yn unig i'w statws presennol fel sefydliad sy'n mwynhau buddsoddiad o filiynau o bunnoedd yn ei staff a'i adeiladau yn yr unfed ganrif ar hugain.  Stori yw hon o frwydro arwrol, ymdrech bersonol, argyfyngau ariannol, aflonyddwch gwleidyddol, rhagoriaeth academaidd ac ymroddiad myfyrwyr. Mae'r hanes yn olrhain twf a datblygiad y sefydliad, gan ganolbwyntio ar y personoliaethau fu'n siapio ei gyfeiriad, a natur newidiol bywyd myfyrwyr ar y campws. Thema sylfaenol y gyfrol yw cynnydd academaidd, o fewn cyd-destun datblygiad gwleidyddol, cymdeithasol ac economaidd Cymru yn ystod y ganrif ddiwethaf, ac mae hefyd yn cwmpasu blynyddoedd cynnar yr unfed ganrif ar hugain.
