  • Richard Brinsley Sheridan
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) Richard Brinsley Sheridan was born in Dublin on 30th October 1751. Sheridan's parents moved to London, and in 1762, he was sent to Harrow School. After six years at Harrow, he went to live with his father in Bath who had found employment there as an elocution teacher. In March 1772, Sheridan eloped to France with a young woman called Elizabeth Linley. A marriage ceremony was carried out at Calais but soon afterwards the couple were caught by the girl's father. As a result of this behaviour, Sheridan was challenged to a duel. The fight took place on 2nd July 1772, during which Sheridan was seriously wounded. However, Sheridan recovered and after qualifying as a lawyer, Mr. Linley gave permission for the couple to marry. Sheridan began writing plays, and on 17th January 1775, the Covent Garden Theatre produced his comedy The Rivals. After a poor reception it was withdrawn. A revised version appeared soon after and it eventually become one of Britain's most popular comedies. Two other plays by Sheridan, St. Patrick's Day and The Duenna, were also successfully produced at the Covent Garden Theatre. In 1776, Sheridan joined with his father-in-law to purchase the Drury Lane Theatre for £35,000. The following year, he produced his most popular comedy, The School for Scandal. In 1776, Sheridan met Charles Fox, the leader of the Radical Whigs in the House of Commons. Sheridan now decided to abandon his writing in favour of a political career. On 12th September 1780, Sheridan became MP for Stafford.

COPYRIGHT, I91O, BY HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPAKY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ±2* EDITOR'S PREFACE For the' facts of Sheridan's life I am indebted to the biographies by W. Fraser Rae {Sheridan, a Biography, 2 j ! vols., 1896) and Mr. Walter Sichel (Sheridan, From New and Original Material, 2 vols., 1909). For the text I have reprinted a copy of the first edition in my own possession. This reprint, I believe, will have some value as the first accurate reproduction of the edition that Sheridan himself prepared for the press. Since no manuscript of The Rivals exists, this edition is the only authentic version of the play. The notes are original except where explicit credit is given. For the frequent quotations from contemporary newspapers I am indebted to Rae's Sheridan/ s Plays, noiv first printed as he wrote them- (1902). The best annotated edition of Sheridan is Professor Nettleton's The Major Dramas of Sheridan (The Athenceum Press Series, 1906).
