Dublin-born Thomas Southerne has long been admired by scholars as
one of the most important dramatists of the Restoration, but the
lack of a modern edition has prevented his plays from taking their
deserved place alongside those of Congreve, Wycherly, and Etherege.
This two-volume collection--based on an exhaustive study of the
earliest editions--brings together his ten plays and the small
surviving body of non-dramatic writing. Volume Two features two of
Southerne's best known tragedies, The Fatal Marriage and Oroonoko,
based on stories by Aphra Behn, and the variants between the
censored and uncensored texts of his political tragedy The Spartan
Dame. In addition, the introduction contains the first biography of
Southerne based on a comprehensive study of the surviving
documentary records, and the editors have incorporated generous
notes to clarify the many contemporary allusions and to relate
Southerne's work to its sources and models.
