Loves Victory, penned by Lady Mary Wroth (1587–1651), stands as the inaugural romantic comedy authored in English by a woman. The Revels Plays presents a groundbreaking publication, offering a fully authorized and modernized spelling edition of the Penshurst manuscript, the sole surviving copy of the play featuring all five acts, meticulously handwritten by Wroth and privately owned by the Viscount De LIsle. This critical edition has been meticulously edited by Alison Findlay, Philip Sidney, and Michael G. Brennan, who provide an insightful introduction that delves into Wroth's remarkable life and artistic contributions as a member of the Sidney family. The editors explore the interconnectedness of Loves Victory, her prose, and poetry, as well as the extensive literary legacy of her family. Furthermore, they offer a fresh perspective on the play's theatrical history, encompassing productions from 1999 to 2018. Accompanied by extensive commentary notes, these notes serve as valuable guides for the contemporary reader, offering explanatory glosses, literary references, and valuable staging information.
