Sobre este artículo
Londra No Publisher [?John Picard] 1724. FIRST ITALIAN EDITION. 12mo, 147 x 88 mms., pp. [x], 166, engraved frontispiece, recently rebound in full maroon morocco, raised bands, title in gilt on spine, all edges gilt. A fine copy. The Conscious Lovers was first performed on 7 November 1722, and, according to Calhoun Winton in ODNB, "It was his greatest success in the theatre, though not his best play, and its place in theatrical history—with its pathetic, or tragicomic, main plot and comic subplot—is still the subject of critical debate." This translation is by Paolo Rolli (1687 - 1785), who worked in London from 1715 until 1744. By 1791, The Conscious Lovers had reached a 15th edition, but Rolli's translation does not seem to have been reprinted.
