Delphi Complete Works of Susanna Centlivre (Illustrated)
The most successful female playwright of the eighteenth century, Susanna Centlivre enjoyed a long career at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, where she became known as the second woman of the English stage, after Aphra Behn. She penned entertaining dramas that avoided rough satiric material, poking fun instead at general human nature. She adopted many of the comic types of the Restoration stage, treating them with a tolerance uncharacteristic of her times.
