v. 1 ISBN 9780404635091
Description
This volume contains the comedies, "The Country Attorney" and "The School for Widows", variations on the theme of the ethics of inheritance. The two three-act comic operas that form a second set of plays demonstrate the power of the Lord Chamberlain's office in denying "Richard II" a license because of its treatment of the Peasant Revolt of 1381 and forcing the dramatic weakening of the play in the revision, "The Armorer". Also included here are the text of the musical drama, "The Widow of Delphi", and the tragedy, "The Arab".
