More about the book
The author reflects on the role of a preface in theater, suggesting it serves as an appeal for understanding from readers after a play's performance. He notes that a play's reputation is often established through audience reception rather than literary critique, making further justification unnecessary unless the play has faced criticism. This particular comedy stands out due to a unique circumstance related to its theatrical trial, which the author feels warrants special mention in the preface, highlighting its significance beyond typical introductions.
