Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The Dramatic Works Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a collection of plays written by the Irish playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. The book includes five of Sheridan's most famous works, including The Rivals, The School for Scandal, and The Critic. These plays are known for their witty dialogue, intricate plots, and satirical commentary on society. The Rivals follows the story of two young lovers who must navigate the meddling of their families and friends. The School for Scandal explores the hypocrisy and gossip of high society in London. The Critic is a comedic play that parodies the theater world and its critics. The book also includes two lesser-known plays, St. Patrick's Day and A Trip to Scarborough. Overall, The Dramatic Works Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan is a comprehensive collection of plays that showcases Sheridan's talent for writing witty and entertaining works that continue to be performed and studied today.

The Rivals and Polly Honeycombe revolve around young women who wish the world would conform to novelistic convention. Unlike most eighteenth-century heroines keen on novel reading, however, Lydia Languish and Polly Honeycombe are neither deluded nor in any real danger. Rather, they inhabit a world in which everyone is engaged in some sort of quixotic performance; the more appealing characters are just willing to admit it. Both farcical and wise, these plays teasingly celebrate the perennial appeal of fiction, while never letting us forget how much it relies upon the everyday rituals of performance. The introduction to this Broadview edition explores the interrelations between print and performance in the eighteenth century, including a detailed and well-illustrated account of what it was like to go to the theatre. Appendices include material on the original casts, the often dubious reputation of novel reading and circulating libraries, Sheridan's high-profile elopement with Elizabeth Linley (which made him a celebrity before he ever staged a word), and the narrative possibilities conjured up by setting The Rivals in the resort city of Bath.
