About this title

Synopsis

George Lillo's domestic tragedies provided the impetus for the development of new forms of serious drama during and after the 18th century, in the Continent as well as in the English-speaking theatre. This edition makes available all of the plays known or thought to have been written by the playwright, in reliable old-spelling texts following modern bibliographical principles. The introduction to each platy treats its sources, histories of publication and reception in the theatre and textual problem. The apparatus criticus and historical collations provide full bibliographical detail. Commentary notes discuss the author's use or adaptation of sources and furnish information about links among his own plays, topical background and literary allusions.
