Sheridan Studies, Paperback / softback Book

Sheridan Studies Paperback / softback

Edited by James (Harrow School) Morwood, David (University of Wales, Lampeter) Crane

Paperback / softback

Description

This book is a systematic attempt to establish Sheridan as a major figure in the history of English comedy.

Leading scholars address Sheridan's role not only as an outstanding playwright, but also as the manager of Drury Lane Theatre, and his subsequent career as a Member of Parliament.

The essays examine the theatrical world in which Sheridan worked, discuss his major plays, and include a modern director's observations on the production of his work today.

This is combined with an important re-evaluation of Sheridan's achievements as a master of rhetoric in the political arena, to provide a much needed contemporary assessment of this multifaceted man and his work.
