[Plays, Theatre] ~ TALFOURD, T[homas] N[oon] Tragedies; to which are added a few sonnets and verses London. Edward Moxon, 1844. New edition.
8vo. [2], xii, 276pp, [2]. With half-title. Contemporary gilt-tooled green half-morocco, marbled paper boards. Marbled endpapers and edges. Lightly rubbed and marked. Internally clean and crisp.
The collected tragedies and sonnets of Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795-1854), judge, Radical politician, and author, to whom Dickens dedicated The Pickwick Papers. The book contains Talfourd's most successful dramas, Ion, and The Athenian Captor, with the former being well received in America due to its republican sentiments, and eventually undergoing an 1861 revival at Sadler's Wells Theatre. These are followed by Glencoe, or the Fate of the MacDonalds, a Scottish tragedy which was produced at the Haymarket in 1840, and some sonnets inspired by the city of Reading and its environs.
