Description

Explore the life and legacy of one of the most important British playwrights of the eighteenth century. This collection of essays focuses on Richard Brinsley Sheridan, bringing his work back to the center of literary and cultural studies.

Beyond his famous plays, this book examines his poetry and orations to provide a full picture of his impact on Georgian London. These essays reclaim the reputation of a man of letters who rose from obscurity to become a major cultural force. It is an essential resource for those studying the literature, thought, and culture of the period between 1650 and 1850.
