Description:
A Bold Stroke for a Wife is perhaps the finest example of Centlivre's masterful plotting of comic intrigue.
Review Quotes:
"This edition is expertly contextualized--biographically, socially, politically, and historically--so that Centlivre's play is positioned as an important product of early eighteenth-century theatre and culture. Copeland's introduction is crisp, direct, and authoritative; the notes are thorough, thoughtful, and unobtrusive; and the biographical and critical appendices are welcome" -- Susan Carlson, Iowa State University
