Designed to meet the needs of theatre professionals, as well as general readers, this edition includes an extensive performance history, a commentary illuminating the complexities of Shakespeare's language, and a setting of the song 'Who is Silvia?' prepared from an Elizabethan source.

Elinor is as prudent as her sister Marianne is impetuous. Each must learn from the other after they are forced by their father's death to leave their home and enter into the contests of polite society. The charms of unsuitable men and the schemes of rival ladies mean that their paths to success will be beset with disappointment.

This is perhaps Trollope's gentlest and most charming story, less satirical than its predecessors in the Barsetshire series, and less shaded with tragic overtones than 'The Last Chronicle'. Trollope's characters are drawn with affection and humour. This ed. originally published: 1991
