Provenance

Where it came from

This volume is part of the comprehensive Nonesuch Press edition of William Congreve's works, edited by Montague Summers and published in 1923. The Nonesuch Press, founded by Francis Meynell, Vera Mendel, and David Garnett, was instrumental in the twentieth-century revival of fine book design, aiming to produce affordable editions that adhered to the standards of private presses by marrying scholarly rigor with elegant typography.

The collection was curated to provide a definitive account of the Restoration dramatist's output, spanning his letters, his prose narrative 'Incognita,' and his first major comedy, 'The Old Batchelour.' By bringing together these diverse writings, the edition serves as a critical bridge between Congreve's literary experimentation and his celebrated theatrical success. Upon release, it was lauded by literary critics and bibliophiles alike for its typographic clarity and the meticulous archival effort involved in consolidating Congreve’s scattered works.
