Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand.

Contact seller1-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: Good. Softcover early 18th c./ late Restoration play begun by actor/manager Cibber, reworked by Vanbrugh (architect of Blenheim Palace) into his second and most successful play. Here is a 24mo copy from 1823 with notes, frp illustration and one for the stage and positions of the actors for this period, som…e lines inked out and very fine ink comments in margins of 19thc performance give this a decidedly mid 19th c flavor. The premise of the plot, that a wife trapped in an abusive marriage with a brutish husband might consider either leaving it or taking a lover, outraged some sections of society but has a very contemporary appeal today. Good only as strings loosening, some chipping, 82pps, ancient protective wrap provided. Rare.
