Nicholas Rowe was the first Poet Laureate of the Georgian era. A
fascinating and important yet largely overlooked figure in
eighteenth-century literature, he is the 'lost Augustan'. His plays
are important both for the way they address the political and
social concerns of the day and for reflecting a period in which the
theatre was in crisis. This edition sets out to demonstrate Rowe's
mastery of the early eighteenth century theatre, especially his
providing significant roles for women, and examines the political
and historical stances of his plays. It also highlights his work as
a translator, which was both innovative and deeply in tune with
current practices as exemplified by John Dryden and Alexander Pope.
This is the first scholarly edition of all Rowe's plays and poems
and is accompanied by 15 musical scores and 31 black and white
illustrations. In this second volume the middle plays, The Biter,
Ulysses, and The Royal Convert are presented, along with a newly
written explanatory introduction by Michael Caines which precedes
the full edited text. Appendices covering dedications, prologues
and epilogues, performance history, the related music and textual
apparatus are also included. A consolidated bibliography is
included with the final volume for ease of reference.
