Coriolanus; or, the Roman matron. A tragedy. Altered from Shakspeare, by Mr. T. Sheridan. Taken from the manager's book, at the Theatre Royal in Drury-Lane.

by Thomas Sheridan

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

Read for my Romantic plays and players summative research project. Quite interesting to read within the context of the censorship of the theatre, the French Revolution, famine crisis in Ireland. I’m writing about how 18th century adaptations of Shakespeare were made to reflect socio-economic context of their age and how that created tensions with the heavy censorship imposed by the Lord Chamberlains office.
