    "This is the first biography of Denis Johnston, barrister, theatre director, film-maker, pioneering television producer, war correspondent, essayist and celebrated playwright." "Johnston was of Ulster Presbyterian stock, born in 1901 into Edwardian Dublin, where during the Easter Rising he was briefly held hostage in his family home on Lansdowne Road. He made the name of the Gate Theatre in 1929 with his astonishing first play, The Old Lady Says 'No!', and went on to become one of the most celebrated English-language playwrights of the time with The Moon in the Yellow River. During the 1930s he worked for the BBC, creating the radio epic 'Lillibulero' and playing an important role in the infancy of British television. He earned an OBE for his reporting from North Africa, Yugoslavia and Buchenwald during the Second World War, an experience chronicled in his greatest prose work, Nine Rivers from Jordan. In 1950 he decamped to New York and later taught for many years at American colleges." "He was turbulently married to the actresses Shelah Richards and Betty Chancellor, and had four children, among them the novelist Jennifer Johnston. An Irishman of wide horizons and wit, and a prodigal dissenter, his multi-faceted life illuminates the cultural history of the past century."--BOOK JACKET.

    Aphra Behn, Susannah Centlivre, Hannah Cowley, and Elizabeth Inchbald were the only four women in England who enjoyed career-long success as comic playwrights from 1670-1800. Their respective approaches to the body, contracts, nationalism, and divorce animate their comedies and provide comic comment on the marriage plot. By attending to the dialogue between humorous comic events and the more predictable comic endings of these plays, Anderson illuminates the philosophical, political, and legal arguments about women and marriage that fascinated both female playwrights and the theatergoing public.
