Nicholas Rowe was the first Poet Laureate of the Georgian era. A fascinating yet largely overlooked figure in eighteenth-century literature, his plays are important both for the way they address the concerns of the day and for reflecting a period in which the theatre was in crisis. This is the first scholarly edition of all Rowe's plays and poems.
