Excerpt from Sir Wm. S. Gilbert, a Study in Modern Satire: A Handbook on Gilbert and the Gilbert-Sullivan Operas
The sole purpose of the present little book is to lead the reader to a more intimate acquaintance with the works of Sir William S. Gilbert - plays for the most part easily readable, thoroughly enjoyable, wholesomely and fearlessly satiric. I have thought to serve this pur pose best by arranging plays not in chronological order, but according as they are written in prose, verse, or comic opera form. For the sake of greater lucidity I have incorporated the non-musical material into Part I, leaving the operas and considerations arising therefrom to the latter half of the Essay, Part II. The important thing has been to extract the satire, not merely to give plots.
The majority of Gilbert's works are easily obtainable; there are here included all that have appeared in the edition of Chatto and Windus (four series), London. The edition might well be issued from new plates and undergo some attempt at editing. Where dates are giv en, they are from the edition mentioned, or from the partial list printed in a note to Percy Fitzgerald's most entertaining work, The Savoy Opera, to which much reference will be made' in the following pages.
