Preparation of the first complete scholarly edition of plays by English writer, Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821).

This project involves the collection and publication of authoritative versions of the complete plays of actor, novelist, playwright, and literary critic Elizabeth Inchbald (1753-1821). Having collected copies of the manuscripts of all of Inchbald's plays at the Huntington Library (San Marino, California), I would like to use the research period (June and July 2016) to work on transcriptions, critical reception studies, and introductions for each of the twenty plays. The project is already underway and has an estimated completion date of 2020.
