Orchard Park, NY: Broadview Press, 2001, 469 pp., $15.95 US, $19.95 CAD, paper.During the past two decades Scottish playwright Joanna Baillie has re-emerged as one of the most significant women writers of early Romanticism. Dozens of critical articles and a book on her theatre theory have focused recently on the importance of her plays, with their psychological and philosophical characters driven by uncontrollable passions; her letters were published in 1999, and a biography is forthcoming. There has not been a recent, accessible edition of her dramas since Donald Reiman's three-volume facsimile edition of A Series of Plays: in which it is attempted to delineate the stronger passions of the mind appeared in 1977, and was followed by Jonathan Wordsworth's Woodstock edition of 1990. In his recent Broadview edition, however, Peter Duthie gives us three of Baillie's most famous plays (with the exception of The Family Legend) in his volume entitled Plays on the Passions; it includes Count Basil: A Tragedy, The Tryal: A Comedy, and De Monfort: A Tragedy.Joanna Baillie (1762-1851) was the daughter of Scots Presbyterian minister James Baillie and Dorothea Hunter, the sister of the two famous Scottish anatomists William and John Hunter. Few people knew anything of Joanna Baillie when she moved to London with her widowed mother and her sister Agnes to keep house for her brother Dr. Matthew Baillie in the early 1780s; and she was still virtually unknown when she published her first anonymous volume in 1790-POEMS; -wherein it is attempted to describe CERTAIN VIEWS OF NATURE and of RUSTIC MANNERS; and also, to point out, in some instances, the different influence which the same circumstances produce on different character. Soon after 1798, however, Baillie's fame was to spring from a new source, as Volume One of A Series of Plays: in which it is attempted to delineate the stronger passions of the mind, each passion being the subject of a tragedy and a comedy was published anonymously in London. It included her distinguished introductory discourse on drama along with Count Basil, The Trial and De Monfort. Subsequent word of her authorship made her company arguably the most sought after in London. Volume two of A Series of Plays appeared in 1802, followed by Miscellaneous Plays in 1804, volume three of A Series of Plays in 1812, Dramas in 1836, and dozens of poems and metrical legends at various periods in between. She was probably Walter Scott's closest female friend, knew the most prominent scientists of the day, and was the steady companion of popular women writers like Maria Edgeworth and Mary Berry.In his welcome edition of Baillie's plays from volume one of A Series of Plays, Peter Duthie uses the 1798 first edition as the copy text for his own edition, which he entitles simply Plays on the Passions. He also collates the Woodstock facsimile edition of 1990 with Baillie's fifth edition of volume one (1806) and with her final edition of these plays included in the complete Dramatic and Poetical Works of Joanna Baillie (1851)-the last publication Baillie supervised. Textual scholars will be grateful that Duthie conveniently displays both textual variations and glosses as footnotes rather than as endnotes in his edition and reserves more detailed historical and philosophical apparatus for the appendices. His commentary informs without being cumbersome, and he includes Baillie's notes and Introductory Discourse to reveal the playwright's own critical voice.More detailed biographical, historical and philosophical material appears in Duthie's Introduction and Appendices A-E, followed by a substantial bibliography. While Duthie cites several recent critical works on Baillie, among them Catherine Burroughs's Closet Stages (1997), he relies a bit too heavily on Margaret Carhart's brief and often erroneous 1923 Life and Work of Joanna Baillie when more accurate biographical material has been made available. …" @default.
