The Second Mrs. Tanqueray was the theatrical sensation of the
London stage in 1893. It established Pinero as the leading English
dramatist of serious social issues, and created a star out of Mrs.
Patrick Campbell in the title role. The play recounts the marriage
of a "woman with a past" and how it fails because of the double
standard of morality applied unequally and hypocritically by
Victorian society to men and women. This Broadview edition includes
a thoroughly revised text based on the author's manuscript, the
prompt copy for the first production, and the published first
edition; it also incorporates pertinent stage directions from the
first production. The critical introduction examines all facets of
the play and its production, and the appendices make accessible a
wide variety of hard-to-find contemporary contextual materials
related to the play.
