|---|---|
| Description: | 'The Revenge' is a full online facsimile of Edward Young's five-act tragedy. First performed in 1721, 'The Revenge' was published in several editions over the next century. The versions of the text hosted here are from the 1806 Longman edition (with a forward by Elizabeth Inchbald), and the 1777 Bell edition. Edward Young wrote three rather bombastic tragedies but is probably best remembered as a poet of the 18th-century 'Graveyard School', being the author of the long and popular poem, 'The Complaint, or Night Thoughts on Life, Death, and Immortality'. Both versions of 'The Revenge' hosted here are in PDF format. Zipped versions of the files are available for users wishing to download them. A basic bibliography of Young's primary works is also available at the site. Students and researchers studying this period would find this resource of interest. Users of the site should note that the texts are not searchable. |
