Solid trade paperback.; INSCRIBED "With all best wishes" by author. Memorial bookplate of Percival Hunt is on front paste-down. Hunt was Head of the Department of English at the time that Dodds was an Assistant Professor writing this book. "It seems important . to reappraise Southerne's work and to place it both in reference to the drama of the period and to the later spawn of sentimental tragedy. Such a study, made without the attempt sometimes exerted to create a hero of a man of straw, reveals Southerne as a far more important tragic dramatist than the neglect accorded him by special studnets of drama would indicate." - Preface.
