Extractions: Royall Tyler (1757-1826) Contributing Editor: Carla Mulford Students have trouble reading dramatic works, whether they are written by Shakespeare or O'Neill. But they especially have trouble with Tyler's "The Contrast," which they think wooden, stilted, and clumsy. They sometimes even take the central characterand the heroas a stiff Steve Martin-like buffoon. There's much to do here. I spend half a class talking about the values of the culture in which this play was produced and saw overnight success. I tell them especially about the belief, held by the elite culture, that morality could be reified, that is, could find actual material manifestation in language and action. This conception that high culture, if demonstrated fully and well, would produce in the masses a liking for high culture and a desire to emulate high culture fascinates them because it seems to them unbelievably naive. Then I have pointed out to them that this attitude seems to have dominated the Reagan White House. They don't always agreeand we use the play as a kind of test case.

Extractions: Source: Russell W. Taft, Royall Tyler, 20 Green Bag, frontispiece, 1-5 (1908) Royall Tyler was born in 1757 in the Faneuil Hall area in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College in 1776 and received a degree from Yale the same year. He studied law with John Adams and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1780. He took up the practice of law in Portland, Maine, and later in Quincy, Massachusetts. Tyler served in the militia in 1778 and in 1787 became an aide to General Benjamin Lincoln during Shays Rebellion. It was during this military campaign that Tyler became acquainted with Vermont where he would eventually settle. Tyler established a law practice in Guilford, Vermont, in 1791 and served as states attorney for Windham County, Vermont, 1794-1801; justice on the Vermont Supreme Court, 1801-1807; and Chief Justice of the state's highest court from 1807 to 1813. He taught law at the University of Vermont from 1811 to 1814. Tyler's literary fame lies in his work as an early American playwright, and author of the first performed American comedy

Extractions: When Royall Tyler graduated from Harvard in July 1776, there was no formal commencement for the senior class. Graduation was overshadowed by the political turmoil resulting from the Declaration of Independence. Tyler went on to distinguish himself by becoming a lawyer, a judge, an essayist, an author, a professor, and the creator of The Contrast (1787), the first American play to be professionally produced and commercially successful. Royall Tyler was born in Boston on July 18, 1757, the youngest of four children. His father was Royall Tyler, a wealthy merchant actively involved in politics, and his mother was Mary Steele, daughter of Captain John Steele. His birth name was William Clark Tyler, but upon his fathers death in 1771, he legally changed it to Royall Tyler at the request of his mother. He attended the Boston Latin School, completing the seven years of study by the age of fifteen, and entered Harvard on July 15, 1772. Tyler soon established a reputation as a good student with a quick wit who was apparently quite the practical joker. One tale has him sending a fishing line out of a dormitory window in order to catch a pig from the yard below, only to hook the wig of Samuel Langdon, the schools president. Tyler was also considered rather flamboyant if not profligate for squandering half of his inheritance while in college and during the years immediately after.

Extractions: Royall Tyler (1757-1827) The next [second] American sonneteer is Royall Tyler (1757-1826), the author of The Contrast , our first comedy, and the second play by an American to be produced in America by a professional company. Tyler's two sonnets are found in The Spirit of the Farmers' Museum and the Lay Preacher's Gazette Tyler's two sonnets are best introduced in his own words: The plaintive and affected style of Charlotte Smith is familiar, it is supposed, to most readers. Criticism has frowned upon the verbose grief of a sobbing poetess. . . . We insert the following as a pleasant introduction to an attack soon to be made upon the above sighing sonneteer from the Shop of Colon and Spondee. [Smith published in Philadelphia in 1787 an edition of her "Elegiac Sonnets."] And this reft house is that the which he built, Lamented Jack! and here his malt he pil'd, Cautious in vain! These rats that squeak so wild, Squeak, not unconscious of their father's guilt. Did ye not see her gleaming through the glade!

Extractions: For some commentary on the American sonnet through 1930, see a General Survey of the American Sonnet by Lewis Sterner. The first American sonnets were written by the Revolutionary War general David Humphreys in the last quarter of the 18th century and were not published until 1804. Some of the better known American sonneteers of mid-century were Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) (the Romantic link in the Sonnet Central chain), William Cullen Bryant Henry Wadsworth Longfellow John Greenleaf Whittier Jones Very ... Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821-1873), and Emma Lazarus (1849-1887). Also included here are many works by lesser known poets. Many of these more obscure works are taken from late 19th century anthologies, so any help with years of birth/death for the writers listed at the bottom of the page is appreciated. Here are some selections from the introduction to American Sonnets (1889), edited by William Sharp "It is, therefore, significant that in contemporary American verse, technically inferior to our own [British] as, in the main, it undoubtedly is, the motives The career of George Santayana (1863-1952), like that of Thomas Hardy, bridged the centuries; included here are his philosophical sonnets from the late 1800s.
