This edition brings together two of Burney's (1752-1840) comedies, The Witlings (1778-80), which satirises the blue stockings (but which was never performed for fear of scandal) and The Woman-Hater (1800-2) which playfully explores social pretension and gender conflict. By placing the two together, the editors enable the reader to observe both the genesis and fruition of a literary idea.
