Description

The Second Mrs Tanqueray by Arthur Wing Pinero is a powerful drama that explores the complexities of Victorian morality. First performed in 1893, it was a major theatrical sensation and cemented Pinero's reputation as a leading dramatist of his time. This Broadview edition presents a thoroughly revised text based on Pinero's manuscript, prompt copy from the first production, and the published first edition, along with pertinent stage directions. The critical introduction provides in-depth analysis of the play and its production, while the appendices offer valuable contextual materials that shed new light on this important work. A thought-provoking and thoughtfully crafted play, The Second Mrs Tanqueray remains a significant contribution to English drama, offering insights into the social issues of the late 19th century.
