Description
This exciting new edition provides an exceptional range of plays edited by leading scholars of Restoration and eighteenth-century theatre. In addition to fifteen canonical plays from the first edition are five newly edited plays: Lee’s The Rival Queens, Vanbrugh’s The Provoked Wife, Garrick’s Miss in her Teens, Cumberland’s The West Indian, and Inchbald’s Such Things Are. Every play now features an engaging headnote and a fully edited dramatis personae, prologue, and epilogue. The innovative introduction plunges its readers into the experience of playgoing in London, and the edition features supplementary texts including select actor and actress biographies and theatrical documents that provide excellent context.
