This is the first fully annotated edition of Ben Jonson's "The
Magnetic Lady," written in 1632. The introduction places the play
in the context of Jonson's later dramatic and poetic works and
discusses the political context of the Caroline court. A
performance history of the play and fresh material relating to its
17th-century reception are also provided. This new edition by Peter
Happè reappraises Jonson's much-neglected play and argues for its
recognition as a work of real distinction.
This unique volume includes eight early dramas that mirror American literary, social, and cultural history: Royall Tylers The Contrast (1789); William Dunlap's Andre (1798); James Nelson Barker's The Indian Princess (1808); Robert Montgomery Bird's The Gladiator (1831); William Henry Smith's The Drunkard (1844); Anna Cora Mowatt's Fashion (1845); George Aiken's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852); and Dion Boucicault's The Octoroon (1859).
Following the successful format of this series, this edition of one of the great plays of the French literary canon includes full annotation and an extended introduction aimed at the needs of students from A-level upwards. This edition is intended for A-level and undergraduate students of French
