PETER PAN AND OTHER PLAYS - JAMES MATTHEW BARRI...

For some 20 years at the beginning of the century J M Barrie enjoyed enormous commercial
success with a wide variety of plays  but he is best known for Peter Pan. It retains its
popularity today  both in the original and in adaptations. As well as being the author of the
greatest of all children's plays Barrie also wrote sophisticated social comedy and political
satire  much of it now newly topical. The Admirable Crichton and What Every Woman Knows are
shrewd and entertaining contributions to the politics of class and gender  while Mary Rose is
one of the best ghost stories written for the stage. Under the General Editorship of Michael
Cordner  of the University of York  the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are
supplemented with a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.
