This is a chronological list of works with the subtitle "Virtue Rewarded". In books and other works, a subtitle is an explanatory or alternate title that usually offers a generalization or moral drawn from the work's plot. Subtitles were a common feature of English literary works of the 17th and 18th centuries, especially plays. In the early 17th century, this convention was at times made light of, as in Shakespeare's ''Twelfth Night, or, What You Will''; while in the 18th century, subtitles would often make a more serious moral point, even in case of comic works. The "Virtue Rewarded" subtitle has been used by a variety of books as a reminder or boast to the reader that the neoclassical principle of poetic justice will be upheld by the plot. With changing cultural perceptions in the 20th-century, the use of this subtitle diminished as a serious form. In academic discourse in the 20th century, subtitles began to be full explanations of the subject of a work, while the title itself was a gnomic or cryptically poetic phrase. This reliance upon the subtitle is part of the comic density of literary reference brought into play in the ''Anatomy of Melancholy'' by Cook et al., implying that dissertation-writing is governed both by the poetic justice principle—virtue rewarded—and by the depressive symptoms described in Robert Burton's ''The Anatomy of Melancholy'' (1622). This list is a compilation of works whose full subtitle is "Virtue Rewarded". Thus ''The Crafty Chambermaid, or, Beauty and Virtue Rewarded'' (London, 1800) does not qualify, nor does ''Virtue Rewarded, or, The Faithful Lady'' (London, 1795). ==See also== * List of works with the subtitle "Constancy Rewarded" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of works with the subtitle "Virtue Rewarded"」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
