This collection constitutes a remarkable comic spectrum which will assist in enlarging the English language repertoire with a set of newly available and hightly stageworthy scripts.
These four Russian comedies were written during the reign of Nicholas I, a period of considerable repression and censorship. They represent the most popular genres of the period.
Lensky''s Her First Night was an immensely popular vaudeville which held the stage for years; Kozma Prutkov''s Fantasy is a parody of vaudeville which was banned after one night. Turgenev''s Luncheon with the Marshal is a comedy of manners about provincial life, and Saltykov-Schedrin''s Pazukhin''s Death is a satire of greed and corruption so savage that it was forbidden during the author''s lifetime.
