Bøger af Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Sheridan's most successful play, often considered the apex of English comedy.

In The School for Scandal, Sheridan's artificial world of heightened wit and heightened folly delights its audience, but at times it engages them with moments of human pain and happiness, before delivering them back to its comedy.

Based on the 1776 edition, the last revised by Sheridan himself, this edition includes the author's preface and the original stage directions for Act V. The original language has been retained; punctuation, however, has been substantially modernized. Edited by Alan S. Downer, this edition of The Rivals for performance and study also includes an introduction, a list of principal dates in the life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and a selected bibliography.
