English dramatist James Kenney (1780-1849) wrote his first play, Raising the Wind, in 1803. The play was a success, and he went on to write more than 40 dramas and operas between 1803 and 1845. Most popular of his plays was Sweethearts and Wives (1823), which had been revived several times after it's debut. Kenney's plays were particularly popular for their castings, including leading actors Sarah Siddons, Lucia Vestris, Samuel Foote, and John Liston. His son, Charles Lamb Kenney, went on to become a successful journalist and dramatist in his own right. Normal mailing folds. Toned. Left edge worn and torn. Corners lightly worn and creased.
