Notes
Description
"A whole age is reflected in the exciting melodramas of the 19th-century British theater. Among the best of them are: LONDON ASSURANCE-- Boucicault's comedy of manners, morals, and money in the tradition of Sheridan. Essay by Dion L. Boucicault, THE BELLS-- Leopold Lewis's powerful story- and great acting vehicle for Henry Irving- of a murder that haunts the killer to his own death. Essay by Gordon Craig, PATIENCE-- W.S. Gilbert's satirical thrust as romantic love and incomprehensible poetry. Essay by Gordon Craig, THE SECOND MRS. TANQUERAY--- Pinero's penetrating drama of social prejudices and their often painful consequences. Essay by Bernard Shaw, ARMS AND THE MAN-- Shaw's sharpest barbs are directed at mankind's foolish and cruel concern with military exploits. Essay by Eric Bentey, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST-- Wilde's comedy of manner attacks with brilliant irony the priggishness and hypocrisy of Victorian society. Essay by Mary MacCarthy." -Publisher.
