This book is a systematic attempt to establish Sheridan as a major
figure in the history of English comedy. Leading scholars address
Sheridan's role not only as an outstanding playwright, but also as
the manager of Drury Lane Theatre, and his subsequent career as a
Member of Parliament. The essays examine the theatrical world in
which Sheridan worked, discuss his major plays, and include a
modern director's observations on the production of his work today.
This is combined with an important re-evaluation of Sheridan's
achievements as a master of rhetoric in the political arena, to
provide a much needed contemporary assessment of this multifaceted
man and his work.
