Love's Victory by Lady Mary Wroth (1587-1651) is the first romantic comedy written in English by a woman. The Revels Plays publishes for the first time a fully authorized modern-spelling edition of the play based on the Penshurst manuscript, the only copy of the play containing all five acts, held at Penshurst Place in Kent. The critical introduction provides details of Wroth's remarkable life and work as a pioneering female author and a member of the Sidney family, tracing connections between Love's Victory, her prose and poetry and her family's extensive writings. The editors introduce readers to the influence of court drama on Love's Victory and offer a new account of the play's stage history in productions from 1999 to 2018. Extensive commentary notes guiding the modern reader include explanatory glosses, literary references and information on staging.
