The Broadview Anthology of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Drama - Second Edition

This exciting second edition provides an exceptional range of plays edited by leading scholars of Restoration and eighteenth-century theatre. In addition to fifteen plays from the first edition are four new plays and one new afterpiece: Nathaniel Lee's The Rival Queens, John Vanbrugh's The Provoked Wife, David Garrick's Miss in Her Teens, Richard Cumberland's The West Indian, and Elizabeth 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 second edition also features supplementary texts, including select actor and actress biographies and theatrical documents that provide a vivid cultural context.
