The Second Mrs Tanqueray Paperback / softback
by Arthur Wing Pinero
Edited by J.P. Wearing
Part of the Broadview Editions series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Second Mrs. Tanqueray was the theatrical sensation of the London stage in 1893.
It established Pinero as the leading English dramatist of serious social issues, and created a star out of Mrs. Patrick Campbell in the title role. The play recounts the marriage of a "woman with a past" and how it fails because of the double standard of morality applied unequally and hypocritically by Victorian society to men and women. This Broadview edition includes a thoroughly revised text based on the author's manuscript, the prompt copy for the first production, and the published first edition; it also incorporates pertinent stage directions from the first production.
The critical introduction examines all facets of the play and its production, and the appendices make accessible a wide variety of hard-to-find contemporary contextual materials related to the play.
