About this book
Robert Dodsley’s collection brings together earlier English plays for readers interested in the range of drama written for the English stage. In The City-Match, a woman mistakes a visitor for a missing figure among the room’s Trojan pictures, turning the confusion into a joke about appearances. A scene in The Queen of Arragon shifts to a proposed secret meeting, where a woman weighs her reputation and conscience against a lord’s persistent pressure.
