  • Some 200 years after Sheridan's Puff stating the play within the play, Zorah Hurston stated in Dust tracks On A Road in a chapter entitled Looking Things Over...So looking back and forth in history and around the tempoary scene, I do not visualize the moon dripping down in blood nor the sun batting his fiery eyes and laying down in the cradle of eternity to rock himself into sleep and slumber at instances of human self-bias. I know that the sun and the moon must be used to signs like that by now. I too yearn for universal justice but how to bring it about is another thing. It is such a complicated thing, for justice, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Harper Perennial 1991 p. 206.Sheridan created Puff the Egoist for The Critic at a time of social class change and in a sense the altering of political publicity at a time when England is experiencing Global Change with the loss of Allegiances. From The School for Scandal and Other Plays 1988 p. 153. Sheridan states Puff: as to Puff Oblique or Puff by Implication it is to various and extensive to be illustrated by an instance; it attracts in titles, and presumes in patents; it lurks in the limitation of subscription and invites in the assurance of crowd and incommodation at public places; it delights to draw forth concealed merit, with a most disinterested assiduity; and sometimes wears a countenance of smiling censure and ender reproach. It has a wonderful memory of Parliament debates and willl often give the whole speech of a favored member, with the most flattering accuracy. But above all it is a great dealer in reports and suppositions. Sheridans works were able to move within that world of censurship.The License Act follows with an understanding that populations were being moved due to religious affiliations, License An official document permitting a venue or company to present drama or other entertainment. In 1559 Elizabeth I banned unlicensed work and by 1572 touring companies had to obtain a seperate license in each town they visited. Cassell Companion to Theatre 1997 p. 264.Sheridan understood the class consciousness of his peers and his Parliamentarian colleagues. He not Puff heard their statements concerning humanity and created stock characters that could endure a life time of social monetary change.Wasson stated within the house of Commons 1660-1945,1991,pg 638 of the house of Commons 1660-1945 Parliamentary Families and the Political Elite that"Kinship connections were carefully charted, not only because they puffed up egos...Sheridan's relationship with the Prince changed in the second regency of 1811, but within his work those of us who may encounter the backward hand of a Prince, he more than likely handled his territory like a screen scene in a School for Scandal. KEEP ON PUFFIN.
